He is currently the chief executive officer and president of CanCambria Energy Corp., a private Vancouver-based, South American-focused exploration company. With long-time partners, he has been directly involved in the structured financing of numerous private and public start-ups. Dr. Cornelius holds a BSc from Manchester University and a PhD from Birmingham University in the United Kingdom, both in geology.
