Vincent Lau, currently vice president of Finance, will succeed Brown as part of a planned leadership transition.

Chief Executive Officer Randy Smallwood said: ‘Gary’s strategic foresight, financial aptitude and disciplined approach to risk management have been essential in establishing Wheaton as a leader in its sector, and he has played a key role in driving Wheaton’s industry-leading performance.’ Outgoing Gary Brown said: ‘I have had the pleasure of building and mentoring a highly motivated and qualified finance team that I am incredibly proud of, and who are well-prepared to continue driving the company’s success under Vincent’s capable leadership.’ Vincent Lau, the incoming CFO, has served as vice president of Finance at Wheaton for 13 years. The company said he brings extensive experience in corporate finance and risk management. Lau holds both Chartered Professional Accountant and Chartered Financial Analyst designations.
