Roy Harvey, executive vice president and president of global primary products, will serve as CEO of the new upstream company, which will retain the Alcoa name. William Oplinger, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Alcoa, will serve as the upstream company’s chief financial officer.

Ken Giacobbe will serve as chief financial officer of the value-add company, the name of which has yet to be announced. He is currently chief financial officer of Alcoa’s engineered products and solutions business.

As previously announced, Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa chairman and chief executive officer, will lead the value-add company as chairman and chief executive officer. He also will serve as chairman of the upstream company for the critical initial phase, ensuring a smooth and effective transition, according to the company.
