As the Founder and CEO of Ionic Mineral Technologies, my journey began with a deep fascination for the untapped potential of halloysite clay—a mineral I dedicated over 15 years to mastering. Through sheer perseverance, relentless innovation, and a commitment to sustainability, I’ve built one of the most exciting companies in advanced battery materials, poised to revolutionize lithium-ion technology.
My career has taken me from Wall Street boardrooms to underground mines, connecting worlds of finance, science, and manufacturing. After pioneering the first commercialization of halloysite nanotubes, I envisioned a greater purpose: to harness this remarkable mineral for the electrified future. Today, Ionic Mineral Technologies stands as a testament to that vision, utilizing proprietary processes to create high-capacity nano-silicon for next-generation batteries.
Our patented breakthroughs and recognition as one of 'North America’s Next Big Things in Tech' (Fast Company, 2023) speak to the transformational impact we’re making. Beyond profits, I’m driven by a mission to create a sustainable energy future and empower groundbreaking technologies that will shape our world."
