“The EMBA helped me to gather additional learnings to become a better leader through reflections, exchanges and in-person teaching tutorials. It also helped me to clarify and organize my thoughts on how to reach my objectives.”
Jean-Sébastien Boutet, a 2018 McGill-HEC Montreal EMBA alumnus, has been appointed CEO of Canyon Resources Limited.
The company is focussed on the development of the Minim-Martap Bauxite Project, a direct shipping ore (DSO) project development opportunity in central Cameroon. As CEO, Jean-Sébastien will be responsible for driving development of the Minim Martap Bauxite Project.
Jean-Sébastien is an accomplished leader and boasts a very strong background in bauxite project development, commodity marketing, operations, international negotiations, business and corporate development and international supply chain logistics. Prior to this new role, he held senior positions with Alufer Mining Limited and Alcoa Corporation and boasts extensive experience worldwide including West Africa, previously serving alongside the Guinea Mines Minister on the board of Compagnie Des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG).
“I am thrilled and highly motivated to join Canyon Resources at such a pivotal time in the development of the Minim Martap Project. This project is most likely the highest-grade undeveloped bauxite deposit in the world. I am very excited to use my experience and to work with the team to deliver a world-class bauxite mine into production in Cameroon, creating value for all stakeholders.”
