A self-described ‘mining guy’ with 40 years of industry experience, including about 10 years as CEO of leading Miners, Tom is a long proponent of disruptive innovation. Tom was deeply involved in the pioneering years for autonomous trucks and now has turned his focus to a topic that was once science fiction, but now a reality: seabed mining. Very much a part of the long-running debate in society between the benefits vs the downsides of mining, Tom was a truly fascinating guest to have On The Rocks.
Tom and host Emily King chat about mining in the movies, innovation in the industry, and mining’s complicated PR problem.
