Jan 13 (Reuters) - Dominion Diamond Corp DDC.TO said on
Wednesday its executive chairman will step down and be replaced
by Jim Gowans, a mining industry veteran, who will take over as
non-executive chairman no later than April 30.
The Canadian diamond producer, which has been under pressure
from an activist shareholder group, also said Josef Vejvoda has
been appointed to the board. Vejvoda is a portfolio manager at
Toronto-based K2 & Associates, which led the activist group.
