Mr. Quinlan has 25 years of experience in finance, capital markets and the global mining industry. Most recently, he served as the interim CFO of Trevali Mining Corporation and prior thereto, as the CFO of Dominion Diamond Corporation, one of the world’s largest diamond mining companies. Over the course of a fifteen-year career in investment banking, he acted as lead advisor/underwriter in over $40 billion of transactions in the global mining industry and was Managing Director and Co-head of CIBC’s Global Mining investment banking group.
