Ariana Resources PLC (AIM:AAU, ASX:AA2, FRA:4A6), the AIM and ASX-listed mineral exploration and production company with gold interests in Africa and Europe, has appointed Simon Acomb as chief financial officer with immediate effect.
Acomb is a chartered accountant and qualified governance professional with more than 11 years of experience across accounting, external audit and corporate governance.
He holds a Bachelor of Commerce and a Graduate Diploma in Applied Corporate Governance and Risk Management, and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and New Zealand.
Acomb currently serves as a director of Consilium Corporate, a Perth-based corporate advisory firm that works with publicly listed companies, a role he will retain alongside his new responsibilities at Ariana.
The appointment is a non-board role.
William Payne, who previously held the chief financial officer position, will remain with the company as a non-executive director.
Managing director Kerim Sener said Acomb's experience representing multiple ASX-listed companies in the same capacity would make him a valuable addition to the senior management team.
