Vale announces changes in its Executive Board
Rio de Janeiro, August 4th, 2016 —Vale S.A. (Vale) announces that Clovis Torres will hold the position of Executive Officer for Human Resources, Health and Safety, Sustainability and Energy effective immediately, with the appointment already approved by the Board of Directors. Clovis Torres will also hold his previous position as General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Director of M&A and Corporate Governance.
Clovis holds an undergraduate degree in Law from Universidade Católica de Salvador, a masters degree in International Law, Trade and Finance from the University of Tulane in New Orleans and an Executive MBA degree from Fundação Getulio Vargas in São Paulo. He also took extension courses at Harvard, MIT and IMD.
Vania Somavilla, who previously held the position, has left the company to take on new challenges in her successful career. Vania contributed immensely to Vale’s results, leaving an important legacy mainly in regards to the licensing process of major projects such as S11D.
Vale also announces that Galib Chaim, Executive Officer for Capital Projects ended his career with Vale. Due to the advanced stage of capital projects, the Executive Office for Implementation of Capital Projects will be extinguished. The department of capital projects will report to the Chief Financial Officer and Executive Officer for Investor Relations, Luciano Siani Pires, taking advantage of the synergies with the Procurement department, which already reports to Luciano. Galib significantly contributed to the company, especially with the delivery of the aluminum projects in Barcarena, the feasibility and implementation of the coal projects in Mozambique and, more recently, the implementation of S11D - the largest project in Vale’s history.
Vale offers its immense thanks and appreciation to Vania and Galib for their successful contributions and achievements over the years.
