Pittsburgh-based Alcoa Corp., a bauxite, alumina and aluminum products provider, recently appointed Thomas J. Gorman as non-executive chairman of the board, effective May 8. He was appointed at the conclusion of the company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and succeeds Steven W. Williams who stepped down.
Gorman has been an independent director of the board since May 2021.
“Tom has brought over 35 years of global business knowledge to the Board, gained from his extensive experience with complex, international operations at industry-leading companies over the course of his career,” Bill Oplinger, Alcoa CEO, said. “The company will continue to benefit from his leadership, operational, and strategic expertise and global perspective in his role as Chairman as we continue to pursue our strategic goals.”
Gorman has served as People and Compensation Committee chairman and as a Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board member.
Prior to Alcoa, Gorman held several executive roles with Australia-based Brambles Ltd., an global supply chain logistics company, including CEO. He also served at Ford Motor Company including as president of Ford Australia.
“I look forward to continuing to work closely with my fellow directors, CEO Bill Oplinger, and the entire Alcoa leadership team to continue to advance the company’s position as the leading upstream aluminum company,” Gorman said.
