B2Gold Shakes Up Management, Board as CEO Set to Retire

B2Gold Corp. appointed Mike Cinnamond as chief executive officer to succeed Clive Johnson, who’s retiring after serving in the role since the Vancouver-based miner was founded in 2007.

Cinnamond, who has been B2Gold’s chief financial officer since 2014, will take over at the company’s annual meeting on June 4, according to a Monday statement. Upon his retirement, Johnson will become chair emeritus — a role that will allow him to remain actively involved with the board and senior management team, the company said.
