In memoriam: Mining executive Philip Jessup’s deep connection to Indonesia
Almost two months have passed since Philip C. Jessup, Jr. passed away in the United States but his friends and family in Indonesia still remember him fondly as a warm person with a big heart.
Jessup — a senior executive and lawyer to one of Indonesia’s largest nickel miners PT Inco (now Vale Indonesia) — was a key player in the creation of the so-called Second Generation Contracts between the Indonesian government and mining companies.
