Leadership

Decades of international mining, in one room.

While Unicorn's shareholders bring a rich history of more than a quarter century of profitable operations in large and complex businesses, the management team is composed of industry veterans and experts who bring with them decades of international mining and mineral trading experience.

Unicorn's strength lies in a versatile management team with both public and private sector experience, supported by JORC certified competent geoscientists and a technical bench with 40+ years of international mining know‑how.

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Mr. Sujit Shyam

Affectionately known as Ceejay · resident of Brazil

Mr. Sujit Shyam is the founder and CEO of Unicorn Minerals. At the age of 24, he and his partners took their first company public on the NASDAQ, and over the years he has managed both private and public companies with a sharp acumen for identifying — and successfully executing — opportunities across multiple continents.

Though he holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Master's degree in Information Technology, his passion for geology and mining drew him into mineral trading in 2001 and the mainstream mining industry a decade later. He brings a thorough understanding of the full mineral production and trading life cycle, and is meticulous and detail oriented in his approach to business.

He credits Unicorn's success to the dedicated and efficient technical and management team he has assembled. Outside the boardroom, Mr. Shyam is an avid fisherman and pool player, and enjoys a good round of poker among friends.
