Piedmont Lithium has added two new senior leaders as part of its growth strategy to support the increasing demand for domestic lithium hydroxide. Nick Fouche, a Rio Tinto veteran with a global resume, has been named the senior vice president of Capital Projects. Erin Sanders, an award-winning integrated communications strategist, has been named the vice president of Corporate Communications.
“Adding these experienced leaders is key as we steadily progress in the development plans of our global portfolio of spodumene resources. Nick has a proven track record of successfully delivering large, multi-disciplinary projects, which will be instrumental as we move into execution mode in the targeted development of our core projects; and Erin’s broad communications background will play a key role in shaping our brand, culture, and perception among our internal and external stakeholders as we move forward,” said Keith Phillips, president and CEO of Piedmont.
“Nick and Erin are great additions to our Piedmont senior management bench, and I am excited to welcome them to the team,” added Phillips.
Nick Fouche brings nearly three decades of experience to his position as senior vice president of Capital Projects. In his role, he oversees the development of project execution strategies for Piedmont’s global portfolio to deliver on objectives and support the company’s safety, environment, and health commitments. Fouche has spent his career in the mining industry and worked for nearly 20 years for Rio Tinto, one of the world’s largest metals and mining corporations. He has a global background and has held a range of leadership positions for several organizations in addition to Rio Tinto, including South32, Palabora Mining Company, and Ero Copper Corp.
As the vice president of Corporate Communications, Erin Sanders is responsible for all corporate and executive communications, brand reputation, crisis and issues management, employee communications, community relations, public relations, and social media strategies for Piedmont. With significant experience in the mining and manufacturing industries, she has spent her 30-year career at leading global and regional communications agencies helping to build the brand identities of Fortune 500 companies and guiding some of the world’s top organizations in achieving their business objectives.
Fouche and Sanders are among a long list of new additions to Piedmont that will strengthen the senior management, technical, and administrative teams. In the past six months, the company has hired nine new employees in addition to Fouche and Sanders who broaden their base of expertise in several key areas.
These individuals include:
• Maxwell Appiah, Senior Electrical Engineer
• Emily Carroll, Mining Engineer
• Elvir Dedajic, Technical Accounting and Internal Controls Manager
