My name is Christo Carlo Witbooi. I have over 26 years of professional experience across the fishing and mining industries, having spent six years in the fishing sector and nearly 20 years in mining. Throughout my career, I have gained broad and in‑depth experience in quality assurance, metallurgy, marketing and commercial functions, human resources, sustainable development, and communication and external affairs. My work in sustainable development has included socio‑economic development initiatives, biodiversity management, and close collaboration with local government and community stakeholders. In addition to my executive and operational roles, I am a highly experienced board director and trustee, with 19 years of service on both non‑profit and for‑profit boards. I bring strong governance expertise, strategic oversight, and a commitment to ethical leadership, sustainability, and long‑term value creation.
