Pierre-Philippe has over fifteen years’ experience in leading efforts to successfully acquire environmental, community stakeholder and First Nation approvals for mining projects.

Prior to his appointment with Canada Nickel, he served as Director of Sustainability at Glencore’s Horne Copper smelter where he was responsible for the environment, health and safety, governance, communications and community relations departments.
