Nutrien Ltd. is set to lose another former Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan executive.

We apologize, but this video has failed to load. In a news release issued Monday, Nutrien said Brownlee will retire effective Oct. 31 after an “exceptional” 40-year career in the Canadian mining sector. His replacement has not been named, the company said. A University of Saskatchewan graduate, Brownlee joined PotashCorp when it was still a Crown corporation. In 1989, he co-ordinated its privatization and was subsequently tasked with expansion and development efforts. In 2006, Brownlee was appointed as the company’s chief financial officer, a position he kept after PotashCorp’s multi-billion-dollar merger with Calgary-based Agrium Inc. on Jan. 1 led to the formation of Nutrien.
