Tony Reda, President & CEO of Tectonic, states, "What impressed me most about Bill is his diverse financial background and community involvement coupled with his drive, enthusiasm and passion for succeeding. From being IR for a multi-billion-dollar company to an equity analyst to a co-manager of a billion-dollar equity fund, Bill brings extensive financial and capital markets experience and deep insider knowledge of how the buy and sell-side thinks and operates. Just as impressive is Bill’s commitment to working with First Nations as he currently serves on the Board of Directors for a prominent BC First Nation.  He will bring a very well-regarded level of professionalism, passion and reach to the important role of IR. We welcome Bill and his proven credentials to the Tectonic team."

Bill Stormont, Investor Relations at Tectonic, says, “Joining Tectonic Metals to lead the company’s investor relations initiative is an exceptional opportunity to be part of this industry-leading team and build on their already exemplary track-record. I am excited to contribute to Tectonic’s success and am looking forward to engaging with investors to help them understand the compelling opportunity Tectonic’s “shift in the game” represents.”

About Mr. Stormont

Bill is passionate about global capital markets and brings a wealth of unique experience to Tectonic’s investor relations focus. His international background includes involvement in a politically sensitive track-two diplomatic process concerned with, among other issues, maritime resource joint development in Asia. Bill’s transition to a successful career as an equity analyst, institutional equity salesperson and co-manager of a top-performing European equity fund in London, UK., was driven by his desire to continue expanding his horizons, learning and contributing as part of a dynamic team in a challenging growth environment – the same exciting characteristics underpinning Tectonic’s “shift in the game” philosophy and the IR role with the team. On returning to Canada, Bill held a number of senior executive positions, most recently Head of Investor Relations at Atlas Corp. (NYSE: ATCO), where he was responsible for developing and executing the company’s strategic investor relations program. Bill believes strongly in the process of reconciliation and is a director of the Klahoose First Nation’s economic development corporation, QXMC.
