Founder & CEO Eunomix

I founded and lead Eunomix. Since 2009 Eunomix turns geopolitical and country risk into a source of competitive advantage. Mining companies have become geopolitical actors: your listing jurisdiction, your operational footprint, your market… these shape access to resources, security of tenure, social license, access to capital. Resource nationalism is structurally resurgent, and great power competition is redrawing the map of who extracts what and where. Just as demand for critical minerals explodes. There is a path through the fog. Geopolitical and country risk are not a burden. Managed with foresight, they can be a source of differentiation, resilience, performance and long-term value creation. We have built the architecture, data and performance processes that embed geopolitical and country risk management into corporate strategy and operational performance. We have advised leading mining companies through complex political disputes and regulatory challenges, strategic country entry and jurisdiction selection, turnaround and crisis management in distressed operations, integration of geopolitics and country performance into strategy and operational processes. At Mining Indaba, I'm here for direct conversations with people building for the next cycle.
