Jason Waters commences as CEO of Gold Corporation
Gold Corporation, trading as The Perth Mint, is pleased to announce that today Jason Waters commenced his role as CEO, as announced on 10 January 2022.
Mr Waters is the fourth CEO since the organisation was established by the Gold Corporation Act in 1987 and only the 15th leader since The Perth Mint opened in 1899.
Mr Waters, a Western Australian by birth and engineer by profession, is an engaging leader with extensive experience at the helm of Government Trading Enterprises, having served as CEO of Synergy and Verve Energy.
“I am excited to start in this new role and getting my feet under the desk of this 123-year-old global leader in the precious metals sector,” Mr Waters said.
“I look forward to spending the coming weeks meeting not just The Perth Mint team but as many of our stakeholders as possible, including the gold miners whose precious metal we refine.
“Gold Corporation is coming off successive years of record profits so is clearly a business that is performing well.”
“It is a complex and interesting business with exciting opportunities for further growth and improvement.
“I want to thank The Perth Mint’s Acting CEO Jane King for her leadership over the past four months. Jane will resume her role as Deputy CEO and I look forward to working closely with her and the other members of the executive team.”
