01 ProfileToronto · Remote

CFO turned AI-native operator,
scaling billion-dollar mines
and building what comes next.

Christopher Stackhouse
C.S · 2026 Toronto · CAN

Strategic mining executive with two decades at the intersection of capital markets, operational leadership and hard-asset execution. Lived at South American mine sites for 6+ years. Currently Group CFO at Solgold plc (LSE/TSX:SOLG).

Orchestrated $750M in stream financing with Franco Nevada and Osisko Gold Royalties — one of the industry's largest deals of 2024. Across five companies: $1B+ raised, two successful exits, and mines delivered from feasibility to commercial production.

Now applying that operator's lens to AI-native tooling for finance, corporate development, and the broader resource sector — building in public at the intersection of deep industry and frontier software.
