Rusal appoints Roman Andryushin as Deputy CEO, Sales and Marketing Director

The global leader in low-carbon aluminium production, Rusal, announces the appointment of Roman Andryushin as Rusal's Deputy CEO, Sales and Marketing Director. As part of the Company's long-term strategy to grow and expand its presence, the appointment supports its long-term growth strategy.

Roman Andryushin will be responsible for global aluminium sales in his new position. Previously Sales and Marketing Director Steve Hodgson remained with Rusal Marketing GmbH, supporting sales to the Company’s international consumers.

Elias Sarkis has been appointed Export Sales Director, Deputy Sales and Marketing Director, and Bob Katsiouleris as Market Development and Quality Director, reporting to Roman Andryushin.

 Evgenii Nikitin, the General Director of Rusal, said, “Roman has worked at Rusal for more than 20 years. He has vast experience in sales development and diversification in difficult market conditions. Given the current turbulence in the global economy, the appointment of Roman will strengthen our position in key regions and promote our development in new areas."

Roman Andryushin, the Deputy CEO, Sales and Marketing Director, commented, “Despite suggestions to the contrary, our relationships with clients have remained professional and largely supportive of our ongoing supplies. The continued availability of our metal has a crucial stabilizing effect on the market since most of the global aluminium industry continues to rely on our low-carbon aluminium. We will be facing new challenges, but together with our professional team, we can face any headwinds”.
