CIM is proud to announce the Incoming President Elect for the year 2021-2022 will be Pierre Julien, an Executive Vice President with DRA Global and President of DRA Americas. Julien is a seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience in the global mining industry.

Julien graduated from the Haileybury School of Mines in 1984 and holds an MBA from the Queen’s School of Business (1999).
