Rusal, the world's largest aluminium producer outside China, has not been hit directly by the sanctions imposed on Moscow since it sent thousands of troops to Ukraine on Feb. 24.
However, some consumers said last month they would not buy Rusal's aluminium for 2023, and the London Metal Exchange launched a discussion paper on the possibility of banning Russian aluminium from being traded in its system.
Steve Hodgson, who previously held the sales director post, will remain with Zug-based Rusal Marketing GmbH to support sales to international consumers.
Andryushin "has vast experience in sales development and diversification in difficult market conditions," Evgenii Nikitin, Rusal chief executive, said in the statement.
Elias Sarkis will be in charge of Rusal's export sales and Bob Katsiouleris - in charge of market development and quality, Rusal added.
