“We welcome Steven to our leadership team in his new role of Executive Vice Chair. We believe that with his skillset, expertise, and senior leadership experience, Steven is perfectly suited to execute on one of our key strategic objectives, namely, rationalizing our portfolio of legacy assets. With him leading this initiative, Dundee’s efforts in this regard will clearly accelerate, and we can sharpen our focus on building Dundee 2.0 as an active investor in the mining sector.”
Steven Sharpe’s extensive senior leadership and public company experience spans a wide range of industries and responsibilities, from legal practice to corporate strategy and restructuring to investment banking to C-suite leadership. He is currently Chair of The Privacy Co LLC, and a director of Crown Capital Partners Inc. and Source Energy Services Ltd.
