PARIS, May 26 (Reuters) - Eramet said on Tuesday it had appointed Simon Henochsberg as chief financial officer and a member of its executive committee, replacing Abel Martins Alexandre, who has left the French mining group.
Henochsberg's Previous Roles and Experience
• Henochsberg had served as vice president for strategy since 2024 and had been transitioning into the chief financial officer role as co-chief financial officer since February 2026, with responsibility for the group's financing plan.
• Henochsberg joined Eramet in 2022 as chief of staff to the chair and chief executive officer after five years at Rothschild & Co in sovereign advisory. Eramet did not give a reason for Alexandre's departure.
Background to the Management Reshuffle
• The change comes as the company faces a management crisis.
Details of Alexandre's Departure
• Alexandre had stepped aside temporarily in February during an investigation into management methods in the finance department, a matter Eramet said was not linked to the dismissal of Chief Executive Officer Paulo Castellari earlier that month on disagreements over "operating methods."
Confidentiality of Investigation Findings
• An Eramet spokesperson said the findings of the investigation were confidential, declining to comment further.
Upcoming Shareholders’ Meeting and Financial Plans
• The company is holding its annual shareholders’ general meeting on Wednesday to approve its planned €500 million ($581.30 million) capital increase.($1 = 0.8601 euros)
