About Thomas Zawels

I am an Industrial Engineer with significant academic expertise in mining and operations research. Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in the dynamic Chilean mining industry and private consulting. Currently, I am a valued member of the Procurement Team, where I contribute to the strategic sourcing and supply chain management efforts. My professional background encompasses a diverse skill set, including consulting and computer sciences, with advanced proficiency in data analytics, business intelligence, and reporting. Furthermore, I possess a comprehensive understanding of commercial dynamics and the intricate mineral markets. This knowledge has been honed through my experiences in both the mining industry and private consulting. My past roles, including an internship in the Mining Operations Office at Minera Los Pelambres, have provided me with invaluable insights into the broader commercial aspects of the mineral sector. In addition to my professional commitments, I have actively contributed to academia by serving as a teaching assistant for courses related to mining, such as Minerals Economics, as well as leadership and innovation courses, such as Organization and Corporate Behavior, and Engineering's Challenges.
