“Jenny's expertize, dedication and positive influence make her a perfect choice for the most influential business women award,” Arch Coal senior vice president of marketing and trading David Warnecke said.
“Her leadership is an asset to Arch Coal and to the St Louis area, and we are proud to congratulate her on this prestigious honor.”

Last month, Arch secured a $US1.4 billion to enhance liquidity, simplify capital structure and extend debt maturities.
