Golden Minerals Appoints David Watkins as New CEO
Golden Minerals announced that Pablo Castanos will step down from his role as president and CEO on September 30, 2026. He plans to pursue another opportunity but will remain a director of the company. The board has appointed David Watkins, who has served as a director since 2009, as the new president and CEO. The leadership change is expected to take effect in late September 2026, providing continuity through Castanos' transition period while ensuring experienced management remains at the helm. This move reflects strategic planning by Golden Minerals ahead of anticipated operational developments or shifts within its business model. Watkins’ long-standing involvement with the company suggests a smooth leadership handover and may provide investors some confidence in maintaining stability during this executive change.
