Founder & Principal Consultant
FGX Consulting started officially in 2022, but my experience spans over 20 years in the Mining & Metals sector and Industry overall. I have worked with leading mining and metal companies including Iluka, Vale, BHP Billiton, RTIO, Fortescue Metals and Alcoa, in all project and study phases.
“My professional career spans four decades, and I have had the pleasure to work with many talented individuals. Fabio is one individual I have worked with who uniquely stands out. During our time together, Fabio displayed great analytical talent, coupled with a strong knowledge of the M&M sector. It’s not just Fabio’s technical skills that impressed me, but also his team spirit and team building capabilities, something equally perceived by senior staff and peers.”
