About this episode
On this episode of the Treasury Career Corner podcast, I’m joined by Toby Shore, Senior Director, Group Treasury, Risk and Insurance at Emirates Global Aluminium PJSC .
Toby's primary role is to oversee and manage the liquidity profile, risk management strategies, and capital structure at EGA related to cash management's treasury operations, counterparty credit risk management, financial risk management, insurance, global tax, and risk and business continuity management.
He is responsible for the development and articulation of EGA's enterprise wide risk management philosophy (including business continuity and crisis management), the implementation of an integrated risk management framework and platform. He has over-arching management responsibility to manage and report on the financial, operational and strategic risks of the company.
EGA is the world's largest premium aluminium producer and the biggest industrial company in the United Arab Emirates outside oil and gas. They operate aluminium smelters in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, an alumina refinery in Abu Dhabi, and a bauxite mine and associated export facilities in the Republic of Guinea.
