I am a Senior Specialist Scientist: Head of Exploration with over 16 years of experience spanning exploration, research, consulting, and academia. My work focuses on structural geology, tectonics, and mineralisation processes that drive sustainable resource development. I have led major multinational exploration‑focused projects across the West African Craton (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Côte d'Ivoire), Botswana, Mexico, and South Africa. These initiatives improved the understanding of regional mineral potential, addressed critical data gaps, and guided industry partners toward high‑prospectivity targets. I lead Greenfields and Brownfields projects working on diverse mineral systems including gold, base metals, Ni‑Cu‑PGE, manganese, iron, heavy mineral sands, and sedimentary/structurally hosted copper. I manage multidisciplinary teams, oversee budgets and strategic decisions, and ensure successful project delivery. I thrive at the intersection of geological science, exploration strategy, and organisational leadership—focused on unlocking mineral potential and strengthening the exploration value chain.
