to her retirement in 2009, with responsibility for leading Alcoa's global
merger, acquisition, divestiture and integration activities. Prior to this,
Barbara was a practising lawyer in Alcoa's legal team.

 

 

Patrick Thomas, Chair of Johnson Matthey said:

 

"On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Chris for his valued
contributions during his time with Johnson Matthey. In particular, his input
as we look to do our part to enable the world transition to net zero has been
invaluable, and I wish him well for the future. I'm very pleased to welcome
