Kaiser Aluminum Corp.’s executive vice president of strategy resigned a month after his promotion to the post, according to a July 11 filing with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Peter S. Bunin took the job June 4, after two years as senior vice president of operations at the Foothill Ranch-based company.
His most recent duties included “identifying and developing new initiatives and innovations to achieve breakthroughs in conversion cost, quality, capacity and capability,” and playing a “central role in identifying, evaluating and implementing value creating acquisition initiatives.”
Bunin, 58, was “instrumental in the transformation and growth” of the company and “will play a vital role leading Kaiser Aluminum into the future,” Jack Hockema, Kaiser’s president and chief executive said at the time of Bunin’s appointment last month.
Bunin, who holds an MBA from Harvard University Graduate School of Business and a mechanical engineering degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, joined Kaiser in 1996 as vice president and general manager of raw materials for engineered products.
Kaiser executives could not be reached for comment.
