De Beers Group has announced that Sarah Kuijlaars will step down as its chief financial officer. She will be succeeded by Richard Lawson (pictured), who is currently De Beers’ head of planning and business development.
In his new role, Lawson will join the De Beers Group board and executive committee.
Lawson joined De Beers in 2017 as the group financial controller and has served as a member of the company’s finance leadership team. Prior to working for De Beers, Lawson was as a chartered accountant at Pricewaterhouse Coopers and in the finance department of Anglo American Thermal Coal in South Africa.
Kuijlaars was appointed De Beers CFO in 2020. In a statement, De Beers Group CEO Al Cook said she had “strengthened our finance organization, strengthened our business, and strengthened our balance sheet, underpinning the company’s long-term success.”’
