David Garofalo, Former CEO of GoldCorp Inc.

In episode #9 of Behind Success, I, Matthew Nelson, and David Garofalo sit down and have a conversation about the mining world. David is a premier name in the mining industry, having been at the helm of several major companies. Formally, he was the CEO of Goldcorp and Hudbay Minerals. Currently, he is running a precious metals fund with some Chinese Partners and is on the board of Great Panther Mining and GoldCorp. David has gained a lot of insight and wisdom over the years from being a leader in many fantastic companies. He has over 30 years in the industry and he is here today to share some of that with us. At first, we talk about how David’s career in mining came to be and some of the necessary steps he took to get to where he was today. As we talk about that, mentorship is mentioned a lot. David explains the importance of his many mentors and what he learned from them. Further on, we talk about some of the companies David has been a part of and their similarities and differences. Also, how David was able to achieve success within these companies. Continuing on, we talk about David’s management style and how it changed for larger vs smaller companies. As well, how David feels the need to engage with his employees and what he looks for within them. Lastly, David and I have a short discussion about promoters and the part they play in a mining company.
