Glencore: Senior copper trader quits

SENIOR Glencore copper trader Sebastien le Page will leave the world’s largest publicly traded commodities supplier after resigning this week to pursue other business interests. His career at Glencore has spanned 18 years; he started in the traffic division before joining the copper unit in 2002. Le Page is a co-owner of two recently opened bars in Zurich – Italian Monkey and Alice Choo – according to the profile. “I resigned on Tuesday, but we haven’t set my last day yet,” Le Page said yesterday. While he planned to continue to be active in his businesses, he said it was too early to say what he would do next. – Bloomberg
