Vice-president, risk management & assurance
BARRICK GOLD CORPORATION
Toronto, Ontario

In March 2015, Christopher Venter moved from a position as regional manager for Australia-Pacific to VP of risk and assurance, where he’s responsible for risk management, audit and compliance programs for Barrick Gold’s global mining operations. With mines in 10 countries, the company faces various environmental, operational and regulatory risks. Recently, operations for a mine in Argentina were resumed following remedial works for a damaged pipeline, and a few months back, the company managed to reach a settlement for an unsuccessful (but thankfully insured) project in Chile.

Previously, Venter served on the advisory teams of Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers, which provided risk and audit services to clients in various industries.
