NexGen Energy appoints Ryan Podrasky as CFO

NexGen Energy (ASX:NXG) announced the appointment of Ryan Podrasky as CFO, effective May 25.

Podrasky succeeds Benjamin "Ben" Salter, who is stepping down after three years in the role to spend time with his family.

Salter will remain with the company in an advisory capacity during the transition period to ensure a seamless handover of the finance function.

Podrasky brings more than 25 years of financial leadership across the global mining, oil, and gas sectors to the dual-listed clean energy company.

A CPA-designated finance executive, he most recently served as CFO of Elk Valley Resources, where he managed the financial operations of a multi-billion-dollar steelmaking-coal business.

His background also includes serving as a board director for Neptune Bulk Terminals and holding key corporate roles at Nexen Inc. and Talisman Energy.

The executive transition comes as NexGen advances its flagship Rook I uranium project in northern Saskatchewan.

"Ryan joins NexGen with significant experience on successful large-scale resource projects covering the financing, reporting, budgetary management, and commercial functions during the construction and operating phases," NexGen Founder and CEO Leigh Curyer said in a statement.

At the time of reporting, NexGen Energy’s share price was $14.90.
