Newmont, the world’s largest gold miner, announced Monday that Brian Tabolt has been selected as its new chief financial officer, taking over from Peter Wexler, who stepped in as interim finance head after the previous CFO departed.
Tabolt came to Newmont in 2021, having previously worked at Molson Coors Beverage. Most recently, he held the roles of chief accounting officer and group head of finance at the company. His new role officially begins July 1.
The company had previously announced the exit of then-CFO Karyn Ovelmen, at which point Wexler was tapped to lead the finance division on a temporary basis.
Tabolt’s appointment is just one piece of a broader reshaping of Newmont’s executive team. The company is also bringing in Mark Rodgers as chief operating officer and David Thornton as chief technical officer. The moves reflect the mining company’s push to strengthen financial discipline and overall performance.
