While minerals and metals represent the cornerstone of the energy transition, the sector must embrace and embed responsible mining, environmental stewardship, innovation and business model transformation. Theo leads the EY organization’s Metals & Mining practice across the Americas to enable that kind of compelling transformation industrywide.

Theo brings more than two decades of experience fostering business transformation and technology innovation across the industry to support core business excellence and enterprise growth. Before joining EY for the second time, he was Vice President of Digital Innovation at a major mining player, where he enabled the company’s digital transformation. Bilingual in English and French, Theo has gained invaluable mining experience in Canada and abroad, applying his engineering and business skills.

A professional mining engineer in Ontario, Theo also holds a PhD in Rock Mechanics from École Polytechnique de Montréal, and a Master of Business Administration with Distinction from the University of Oxford.

How Theo is building a better working world

“I’m proud to support industry executives who are looking to lead the energy transition by optimizing and decarbonizing the metals and minerals value chain. This approach helps them not only thrive, but also anticipate and navigate — with agility — the evolving market signals for supply and demand.

Working through the EY Americas Metals & Mining Centre of Excellence, I lead innovation and co-creation to help our clients unlock opportunities. This enables them to meet and exceed stakeholders’ and shareholders’ expectations and ambitions. By driving these initiatives, I’m building a better working world, fostering sustainable growth, and advancing the global shift to cleaner energy solutions.”
