Pierre Julien, DRA Global’s Executive Vice President for Origination and Americas, is a seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience in the global mining industry.  Throughout the course of his career, Pierre has had many achievements including founding not one but two mining industry service provider companies. 

Now, he has another achievement to add to his list. Pierre has been appointed the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) President for 2021 -2022. 

Speaking to CIM, Pierre said “The Canadian mining industry has provided me with opportunities I could not have dreamed of as a 17-year-old entering the Haileybury School of Mines. I’m extremely honoured to have the opportunity to serve CIM in its ongoing efforts to support our world-class and life-changing industry.”

Former CIM President (2018-2019), Janice Zink said CIM were fortunate to have someone with Pierre’s strong technical background and leadership experience be their President. 

“Pierre will play a key role in CIM’s continued transformation to a stronger, more united and relevant organization.”

Prior to his appointment as President, Pierre was a former CIM Council member and was awarded the CIM Fellowship award in 2017.

DRA congratulates Pierre on his fantastic achievement and wishes him the best of luck as CIM President.
