Cutifani’s Anglo succeeds or is lunch

[miningmx.com] – ANGLO American CEO, Mark Cutifani, either makes a success of his turnaround strategy or the UK listed company will be bought out “in fairly short order”, said Sanford C. Bernstein analyst, Paul Gait.

Cutifani took the reins of Anglo American in April 2013 and said several months into the job that return on capital employed (ROCE) had to be improved to at least 15% against the then performance of 8% ROCE.
