Throughout his career, Rupert has served as CEO across a range of companies, successfully building and growing Ptarmigan Eden Asset Management, a private Special Situations Company with significant experience in execution across global exchanges, private equity and venture capital investments supported by Credit Lyonnais Europe and UBS, a global commodities trading company and most recently Eugen de Buren, a resource focused Asia centric PE and Public Markets team, advising international resource companies and both regional and global PE equity funds.

 

Giles Clarke, Chairman of Sovereign Mines of Africa said:

 

"In Rupert we have secured a highly entrepreneurial individual and I'm delighted to welcome him to the Company. Rupert brings with him significant international experience of growing and scaling businesses across the globe and has a track record of aggressively driving growth and shareholder returns which fits well with the Company's culture. He joins us at a highly exciting time following an extensive strategic review of the business and his specific skills will be invaluable in executing our strategic plans. I and the rest of the board look forward to working with Rupert."
