PyroGenesis (PYR) has announced the return of Alan Curleigh as Board Chair.
Curleigh previously served as a senior executive and board member of TESSAG KSH (now KSH Solutions), a 100-year-old global engineering contracting company serving the forestry, energy, environmental and chemical industries.
He was federally appointed by Canada’s International Trade Minister as Board Chair of the Canadian Commercial Corporation, a role he held for seven years.
Curleigh was also Chair of the Audit Committee for Veterans Affairs Canada as well as Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters.
President and CEO P. Peter Pascali will step down as Chair, which aligns with his view that the position is best served by an independent director.
PyroGenesis’ board now has eight directors, of which six, including Curleigh, are independent.
“Mr. Curleigh has the deepest respect of PyroGenesis’ management team, most of whom have worked closely with him until his departure as Chair in 2019 after a 9-year tenure. His history with the team will allow for an easy transition of leadership governance,” stated Pascali.
“The momentum has clearly been building and the company has entered an exciting new chapter in its history,” stated Curleigh. “I am looking forward to working with my fellow board members and the company’s management teams to support this next stage of growth.”
PyroGenesis Canada offers advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with a particular focus on heavy industry.
PyroGenesis Canada (PYR) is down by 3.03 per cent, trading at $1.28 at 10:32 am EST.
