Bio
Colleen Mc Alpine
Andre' is a great person to work for. He is fair and understanding , as well as looking at the bigger picture to see how he could help in any way. He is very detailed almost to the point of perfection and he expects the same of anyone who works with him - he expects you give your best and one glady does so. He is fun as well , but when the work needs to be done he gets down to business. Awesome boss.

I report directly to André in the Process Engineering department of DRA Americas. He is one of the most valuable person I have met in the mineral processing industry. Quickly, I realized that he is more than just a highly skilled metallurgist, he is result-driven and inspiring by his professionalism. I know he did a big impression among myself and my colleagues by providing viable process alternatives design for a client (in BC, Canada). He can take on the most challenging projects. Thanks to his interpersonal skills, he has great relations with both company clients and potential clients but also among equipment suppliers. It’s an authentic pleasure working with him.
