About Me

Vladimir Kim joined Kazakhstan mineral firm Kazakhmys in 1995 after earning degrees in civil engineering, economics and business administration. He was named chairman in 2005, before Kazakhmys became the first Kazakh company to list on the London Stock Exchange. In a 2014 restructuring, Kazakhmys de-merged into private company Kazakhmys Corp. and a separate public company, KAZ Minerals plc. Kim still has a stake in KAZ Minerals and sold his majority stake in Kazakhmys Corp., which inherited most of the group's mature mining (mostly copper) assets, in 2025. He stepped down as chairman of KAZ Minerals in 2013.
