About

Head of Copper Concentrates at Vitol, with 18+ years of global experience in copper concentrates trading, including roles at Glencore and IXM. I build resilient, relationship-led supply chains and deliver consistent commercial results through the cycle. I’m known for simplifying complex challenges into clear decisions—linking market dynamics, counterparty risk, contract terms, and logistics—while maintaining high standards of risk management and compliance. Strengths include origination and trading, market and risk analysis, contract structuring and negotiation, and end-to-end execution with operations, legal, finance, and risk.
