Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. said Feb. 25 that it has reappointed Sebastian Coe as nonexecutive director of the company.

Coe was a founding director of the company from 2003 to 2004. Fortescue Chairman Andrew Forrest expects Coe's return to bring "a unique perspective through his experience in business, marketing and politics across the European Union, India and other markets."

Coe is currently a senior adviser with Morgan Stanley & Co International plc and a nonexecutive director of the Vitality Group of health and life insurance companies. He was elected president of the International Association of Athletics Federations in 2015 and was appointed to the House of Lords in 2000.
