Glen Ireland has spent the past 35 years advising governments, global mining companies, and financial institutions on some of the most complex mining projects in the world. As a former senior partner at two of Wall Street’s leading international law firms, he led transactions worth over $60 billion across more than 30 countries—from Africa and Central Asia to the Middle East and the Americas. Today, he serves as a trusted advisor on critical mineral supply chains, clean energy transition strategies, and large-scale industrial development. Glen's work has been featured by institutions including the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, and Oxford University. His debut book on the global race for critical minerals will be published by Penguin in 2028.
