Anglo American appoints Richard Price as Group General Counsel
Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”) announces the appointment of Richard Price as Group
General Counsel and a member of Anglo American’s Group Management Committee, with
effect 1 May 2017. Richard will be based in London and will report to Stephen Pearce, who will
take up the role of Finance Director on 24 April 2017.
Richard Price will join Anglo American from the London office of international law firm
Shearman & Sterling where he has been a senior corporate partner since 2003 and currently
co-leads the firm’s global metals and mining practice. Prior to moving to London, Mr Price was
based in Shearman & Sterling’s Singapore and Toronto offices.
Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: “We look forward to welcoming Richard
Price as Group General Counsel, a key role that provides both strategic and commercial insight
throughout our decision-making processes, while also forming part of the risk management of
Anglo American as a whole. He knows us and our industry well, given the legal advisory work
he has led on a number of complex issues and transactions, including in South Africa. Richard
will lead our global legal team following Ben Keisler’s decision to retire this year after serving
32 years with Anglo American. On behalf of the entire management team, I would like to thank
Ben for his dedication, leadership and most importantly his sound judgement and we wish him
a safe and happy retirement.”
Richard Price said of his appointment: “I am delighted to be joining Anglo American at this
exciting time in its 100-year history. I have had the pleasure of working with Anglo American,
including its current Group General Counsel Ben Keisler, for many years and have developed a
great admiration for the company and its people.”
