Leadership roles
I am a PhD in Mining and Mineral Engineering from the Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter, and a Mining Engineer from the University of Santiago de Chile. My career has moved across mine operations, remote operation centres, productivity analytics, entrepreneurial mining technology, consulting, market intelligence and, today, mining software business development across Latin America at RPMGlobal.
My work combines operational discipline with digital tools: fleet management systems, IoT, productivity analysis, cost modelling, due diligence, visualization, benchmarking and strategic technology evaluation for the mining industry.
Positioning statement: Mining Engineer → Operations Leader → Researcher → Entrepreneur → Productivity Leader → Mining Intelligence Leader → Mining Technology Business Development.
