Anglo American CEO to lead combined Anglo Teck group
Anglo’s current chief executive Duncan Wanblad will lead the combined Anglo Teck group, which will be headquartered in Vancouver.
Anglo American and Teck Resources have unveiled the leadership team for the soon-to-be combined Anglo Teck plc, following their $53-billion all-share merger. The new entity will be headquartered in Vancouver, with Anglo American's CEO Duncan Wanblad taking the helm. Teck's CEO Jonathan Price will serve as deputy CEO and chief strategy officer, while Teck's CFO John Heasley will assume the role of chief financial officer and Ruben Fernandes will become chief operating officer.
Nolitha Fakude will continue as Chair of Anglo Teck's management board in South Africa, reporting to Wanblad. This merger, mining's largest in a decade, strengthens Anglo American's access to Teck's copper assets, a crucial resource for electrification and renewable energy. Wanblad expressed confidence in the executive and regional leadership teams, stating that the combined group will be a top-tier global copper producer with exceptional growth opportunities. The merger is set to receive final regulatory approvals between September 2026 and March 2027.
