Rudi Huber, president of Alcoa’s European Region and VP, Alcoa Inc, is as the new chairman of the European Aluminium Association (EAA). He succeeds Christel Bories and will take on his role on January 1, 2009, and hold the position for two years.
“We are confident that his experience and expertise will be a valuable asset to the association,” says Patrick de Schrynmakers, secretary general of the EAA. “Our industry is entering an unprecedented period with financial turmoil and extremely challenging market conditions while at the same time experiencing increasing regulatory demands that require additional focus and attention from both EAA and its members.”
Rudi Huber joined Alcoa in 1981. He was named a vice president and chief information officer (CIO) in 2000. Three years later, he added the Alcoa Global Business Services (GBS) organisation to his accountability. As CIO, he led the strategic direction and integration of Alcoa’s global information systems.
