Simon Hay was to be President of International Business, reporting to the CEO and MD ( Martín Pérez de Solay ). Note a C-suite role apparently ( and probably not an officer of the company ) as he is not in the list of "Leadership" team at ORE ( https://www.orocobre.com/company/leadership-team/ ) and of course he is not part of the board.

But yeah, there should be an announcement from ORE as well one would think ??? .. But if he is not likely to be an officer of the company, then probably that is the reason why where is no announcement (?)
