I am a founder and Chief Science and Technology Officer at MinersAI, where we are helping mineral exploration companies ensure the world has the critical minerals needed for the energy transition. My passion is solving science-based business problems that impact the value curve. My career has taken me from operations to exploration and development geoscience, through academic and industry research. From running a consulting business to new ventures and mature-basin exploration, and to running the whole worldwide subsurface support organization. In my most recent role I helped develop and implement value-adding software for energy companies. In 2023, my cofounder and I started a company focused on helping Mineral Exploration companies quickly find the data they need to make early capital-allocation decisions.Specialties:Leadership: Team, Asset, and BusinessPassion for people, science, technology, engineering, and businessData and discipline integrationSedimentology and stratigraphySeismic interpretationPetroleum System Analysis
