Lovro Paulic (Vale website).

Vale Manitoba Operations is losing their head honcho of 7 years.

Lovro Paulic, Vice President of Vale’s Manitoba Operations is leaving Thompson to begin a new role as Director of Operations at PT Vale Indonesia. Paulic is expected to start the new position next month. 

Manitoba Operations Manager of Corporate Affairs Ryan Land says it’s the next logical step for a strong leader like Paulic even though he wasn’t actively seeking a new opportunity. Land adds that the company hopes to replicate the work done in Thompson in other areas of the business.

No word yet on who will take over as VP of Manitoba Operations, but Land says there is a strong leadership team in Thompson that will take on the duties until a successor is named.
