Over the last four decades Peter Benny has contributed to the development of the sugar, bauxite and goldmining industries, major drivers of the economy, while developing the expertise of many Guyanese through training programmes he pioneered at every place he worked.
Currently, Director, Corporate Office, Compliance and Government Relations with the Chinese-owned AGM (Aurora Gold Mines) Inc, Benny, 64, started his professional life as a pupil teacher at Cropper Primary School. He then joined the Guyana National Service (GNS) before venturing into local government, where he had his first taste of human resources (HR) management, the love of his life. His next move was to the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), which grounded him in HR, before taking his skills into the goldmining industry, thereafter rotating between gold and bauxite.
