The CEO of the multinational mining and metals processing group, Richard Stewart, said that Chapman’s experience and perspective will be invaluable to the company.
“We are delighted to welcome Emma to Sibanye-Stillwater.

Extensive expertise
Chapman has nearly 15 years of experience advising boards and executive leadership teams on investor engagement, strategic positioning, capital allocation and shareholder value creation.
She brings extensive expertise across multiple capital markets, including the FTSE, JSE, TSX, and NYSE, supported by a strong financial background in accounting and corporate finance.
Since 2024, she’s served as vice president of investor relations at Teck Resources, where she has led investor relations through a period of significant corporate transformation and portfolio repositioning.
Before joining Teck, Chapman spent nearly a decade at Anglo American Platinum as head of investor relations and ESG, where she played a key role in strengthening the company’s investment proposition and broadening its international shareholder base.
Earlier in her career, Chapman worked at Citigroup in corporate broking and investment banking, and at PricewaterhouseCoopers in corporate finance, where she qualified as a chartered accountant.
She holds a BSc (Hons) in economics from the University of Bath and has completed the Programme for Leadership Development at Harvard Business School.
Chapman steps into the shoes of James Wellsted, who has joined the group transformation office as EVP of business analytics and improvement.
