Leontin Suciu, 54, who has been a rare presence in the press, said that he left Glencore by mutual agreement and on good terms.
“My time running the company is very difficult to characterize. The structure is completely different now. When I became executive of the company, it had a turnover of a few million dollars, now the figure is over EUR200 million,” Suciu told ZF.
Glencore, the world’s largest raw materials trader, with revenue of EUR186 billion, had a turnover of EUR173 million in 2011, according to Finance Ministry data.
The company has recently recruited Florin Bratucu, 35, as commercial manager, after he was trading manager of rival Cargill for six years.
