Australian Paul Harvey, the former COO of South32, has been appointed senior operating partner of mining-focused private equity fund Appian Capital Advisory.

Harvey will be based in Perth, Western Australia, and will work alongside the senior partnership committee and COO Igor Gonzales to provide operational oversight of Appian’s portfolio of companies, notably the operated assets including Atlantic Nickel’s producing Santa Rita nickel/copper/cobalt project and Mineração Vale Verde's copper/gold Serrote project in Brazil.

“Paul’s significant experience with some of the world's leading diversified miners will be a real asset for our portfolio companies, bringing a wealth of exposure to a broad range of commodities, coupled with a mixture of leadership, operational and ESG expertise. Likewise, his unique insight will be invaluable for the investment side of the business. Following the close of Fund II and the growing demand for our key commodities I am sure he will play an important role in Appian's next phase of growth,” comments Appian founder and CEO Michael Scherb.

Harvey started his career in underground gold and diamond mining in South Africa with companies including De Beers. He worked for 23 years at BHP, including as president of Nickel West and president and COO of Ekati Diamonds before joining South 32’s leadership team as chief transformation officer, establishing the company in its demerger from BHP.
