Brazil's Vale decides to reappoint Eduardo Bartolomeo as CEO - source

SAO PAULO, March 8 (Reuters) - Brazilian miner Vale says it will retain Eduardo Bartolomeo as CEO through 2024, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.

Bartolomeo, whose term was due to end May 26, first assumed the role as Vale's CEO on an interim basis in 2019, leaving his position as the company's base metals director in Canada after the departure of then CEO Fabio Schvartsman, who headed the company when the Brumadinho dam disaster occurred.
