Dr. Doris Hiam-Galvez is a transformation global leader, a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, and the visionary author of the pioneering system approach, “Designing Sustainable Prosperity (DSP),” published by Wiley (2024). DSP is a fact based, inclusive process designed by the region, for the region, to create a resilient economy benefiting all. It unites key players and leverages a region’s strengths to diversify its economy, which stabilizes employment, attracts capital, and builds trust. The design outcome aligns with the UNSDGs and guides regional infrastructure decisions, policy, and education decisions. Her philosophy is captured in her quote below: “Mining will ultimately be judged by the future it enables.” With a PhD in Metallurgy and three decades of senior global leadership in the resource sector, Dr. Hiam-Galvez delivers a science-based, action-driven roadmap for lasting prosperity, directly addressing the critical demands for environmental responsibility and climate-change solutions. Throughout her career, she pioneered breakthrough innovations that reduced environmental footprint, including major savings on billion dollar project timelines and de-risking investments. Her presentations offer comprehensive regional solutions for every leader committed to create a better future.
