SRK Global Appoints New Chair
Alejo Sfriso, corporate consultant and practice leader with SRK Argentina, has been appointed board chair of SRK Global. Alejo succeeds Mark Noppé, who is becoming director of the W.H. Bryan Mining Geology Research Center with the Sustainable Minerals Institute at The University of Queensland. “My becoming chair of the SRK group of companies is a demonstration of our culture. I am a geotechnical engineer coming from a small consultancy located in a country with a limited mining footprint—but with a lot of potential. I was given the opportunity to build my practice within SRK. In doing so, I was exposed to challenging projects worldwide, working with many SRK colleagues from whom I learned so much,” said Alejo. Alejo joined SRK in 2009 and co founded SRK’s practice in Argentina, where he served as managing director until 2019. He served on SRK Global’s board of directors from 2016-19 returning in 2022. Alejo is expert in the application of numerical methods for design, analysis, and risk evaluation of geotechnical structures with an emphasis in construction procedures. He continues his professional practice through which he has contributed to projects in over 25 countries. “Alejo’s long history of leadership in SRK exemplifies the positive contribution and opportunities he and his team
