Siri currently runs BRIDGE ©, providing non-quantitative strategy services, advising her clients on Risk Management interfacing with Commercial and Sustainability issues. She crafts solutions with a “mediation” approach when working with stakeholders, whether indigenous and local communities, industry, labour, civil society and governments. An important part of Siri’s expertise covers the social and community impacts of projects, negotiating agreements and building balance between global strategy and local needs and capacity. The business and the bottom line remain constant drivers that are integrated into the solutions.

She has also worked in Infrastructure with Hydro-Québec, and in Panama, as well as the Port of a major Canadian city. Siri is currently working on developing a sustainable business model for the “green-financing” of small cap energy and natural resources companies. She is also a strong believer in the “cluster approach” to mining, where the interface of related industries such as forestry, agriculture, infrastructure, academia, finance, R & D as well as workforce planning delivers strong sustainable bottom line results to shareholders and stakeholders alike.
