Konstantin Christoulakis shares his encyclopedic knowledge of metal markets and mining
Manage episode 416911996 series 3417760
For our 102nd episode, your host is joined by his pal who helped him with a Forbes article about mining a year ago, and who has been his go-to guy for metals intelligence ever since.
Konstantin Christoulakis is a senior manager of procurement and risk for a metals trading company, and has oodles of experience in supply chains in general. He talks about the coming demand for metals, especially copper, and how today's mining isn't positioned to fill that demand. He offers his thoughts on why that is and what we should do to start fixing it.
Konstantin's in-laws were miners, so in addition to his intensive career experience in the metals world, he also has some close contacts who have helped shape his understanding of that side of our critical supply chains.
Tune in and get ready for some serious learning!
