Leo Lithium (LLL) has welcomed Joe Belladonna to the team as its new Chief Financial Officer and Joint Company Secretary.
Joe Belladonna is an experienced CFO, with more than 20 years of experience in the financial and commercial management field.
Prior to joining Leo Lithium, Mr Belladonna was CFO and Company Secretary of Western Areas (WSA), where he established the internal reporting environment of the group as it discovered and commissioned multiple nickel sulphide mines and processing plants.
Leo Lithium said Mr Belladonna was considered a trusted advisor to WSA the board and, as such, was a key member in the company’s business development activities, culminating in a $1.2 billion takeover by IGO (IGO) in June 2022.
Leo Lithium’s Managing Director, Simon Hay, said he was delighted to have Mr Belladonna join the Leo Lithium team.
“To have attracted an individual of Joe’s calibre is testament to the outstanding opportunity ahead of us as we develop the Goulamina lithium project,” Mr Hay said.
“Joe’s astute corporate governance skills and deep experience in the financial and commercial management of large, listed mining companies adds significant clout to Leo as we continue to build our team.”
Mr Belladonna will complete a transition with Leo Lithium’s current acting CFO, Alan Rule, in August before Mr Rule departs the company shortly thereafter.
Joe Belladonna’s appointment will become effective from August 1, 2022.
