The board of TATA Steel has appointed Mr Kirby Adams to succeed Mr Philippe Varin as CEO of Corus and of TATA Steel Europe, the holding company of Tata Steel’s European operations. Mr. Adams will re locate to London and commence working from early March 2009. Mr Adams will report to Mr B Muthuraman MD of TATA Steel.
Mr Adams was formerly CEO of BlueScope Steel, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. He has also served as Chairman of the International Iron and Steel Institute and has a wealth of international experience in the metal and mining industry. He will join the Boards of TATA Steel Europe and TATA Steel, subject to necessary approvals.
