Copper and gold mining company PT Freeport Indonesia has appointed Chappy Hakim as president director of the Papua-based company.
Through an interoffice memorandum on Nov. 19, Richard C. Adkerson, CEO of Freeport McMoran Inc. said the appointment was made after a consultation with the Indonesian government and was in the process of getting approval from shareholders.
“Chappy Hakim has been a senior adviser for PT. Freeport Indonesia since August 2016,” Adkerson wrote in the letter quoted by tribunnews.com.
Chappy is a retired Indonesian military air chief marshall born on Dec. 17, 1947. He was Air Force chief of staff from 2002 until 2005.
He is also known as an aviation industry expert and prolific writer, having produced 10 books.
Freeport previously appointed retired military officer Air Vice Marshall (ret.) Maroef Sjamsoeddin as president director.
