Mulder joins Siecap board

Mulder has a long career in the resources industry where he held a range of senior executive positions including, most recently, group managing director of coal and infrastructure at Hancock Prospecting.

“Mulder brings a great depth of knowledge and expertise that will be invaluable to many Siecap clients in the mining industry and beyond,” Siecap CEO David Irvine said.

“His record of achieving lasting results for the companies he works with is outstanding and I’m delighted to welcome him on behalf of the Siecap team.”

In his career at Hancock Prospecting, Mulder oversaw the development of the company’s $15 billion Galilee Basin projects in Central Queensland and its subsidiary Queensland Coal Investments.

Mulder is a materials engineer with an MBA and more than 20 years of experience in cradle to grave project development; strategy; mergers and acquisitions; procurement; operations and construction management; and commercial business development.

While at Hancock, Mulder established the company’s coal developments where he led the company’s strategy; business plan; project development; organisation/operational design; approvals; equity/debt; and marketing.

In his new role, Mulder will work closely with C-level executives in client organisations and leverage his vast strategic, operational, commercial and technical background to provide a unique service to those executives that want to differentiate themselves from their competitors.

Mulder said he was looking forward to joining the leadership team at Siecap and to delivering true bankable value to its client organisations.

“Siecap’s focus on providing customised solutions based upon the specific requirements of every business it serves is something I am very excited to build upon,” he said.

“Coming from the other side of the ledger, I know what executives want and need from an advisor and unless you have been there, you can only try to truly understand.

“Using advisory consultants at times is a trial and error exercise that leaves the client with a glossy power point pack that does not deliver the value the advisor pitched.

“With operational and capital cost control, efficiency and productivity front and centre for executives these days, my aim is to provide real bankable value at a far more cost-effective level than what the well-established Tier 1 consulting brands are charging.

“Siecap have deployed a commitment to hit every job out of the park. In other words its success will only be truly achieved when clients call us and say, ‘that is the best value for money consulting I have ever received’.”
