Barrick Gold Corp. has hired Kevin Thomson, a deals adviser, as senior vice-president of strategic matters starting next month.
Thomson joins Barrick Oct. 14 after serving as Senior Partner at Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP, a Toronto-based law firm specializing in mergers and acquisitions, Barrick said in an e-mail.
Thomson has been an adviser to Toronto-based Barrick since 1995, and will be “intimately involved” in all activities of strategic significance to the company, Andy Lloyd, a spokesman at Barrick, said in an e-mail.
Lloyd said Thomson’s duties will include the development of partnerships with investors and management of complex negotiations.
