“Matt is a very strong leader who will help us drive a high-performance culture across our assets,” said Alcoa President and CEO William F.

Prior to OZ Minerals, Reed was the Executive Managing Director (Chief Operating Officer) of SIMEC Mining, where he had multisite responsibility for commodity exploration, development, and operations in addition to business development and marketing.

Oplinger, who was appointed President and CEO in September of 2023, has maintained the responsibilities associated with his prior role as Chief Operations Officer. Oplinger will continue with those responsibilities until Reed’s appointment on January 1, 2024. Meanwhile, Reed will continue as Vice President Operations, Australia, and President, Alcoa of Australia, until January 31, at which point an interim Vice President Operations for Australia will be appointed.
