Management & Leadership

Environmental Minerals Inc. is led by an experienced executive team whose combined background spans project development, capital markets, environmental regulation, and operational execution. Together they are building a durable platform focused on producing sustainable Class "N" natural pozzolan and advanced low-carbon materials that support the transition to cleaner industry and resilient infrastructure.

Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Michael Walker, Chief Operating Officer and Board Member Jason Roe, and Chief Environmental & Regulatory Affairs Officer Jeremy ("Jay") Bergeron, Environmental Minerals integrates institutional-grade business management with rigorous environmental and regulatory oversight. The team’s experience — from large-scale real estate and hospitality ventures to advanced environmental compliance and lifecycle stewardship — is designed to meet the governance, risk-management, and execution standards expected by institutional investors and strategic counterparties.

Michael (“Mike”) Walker – Chief Executive Officer & Board Member

Michael (“Mike”) Walker is a Canada-based business and commerce executive with more than 25 years of experience across hospitality operations, real estate development, structured finance, and underwriting-driven capital deployment in North America and internationally. He serves as Chief Executive Officer and a Board member of Environmental Minerals Inc., with responsibility for corporate execution, operational governance, and transaction discipline.

Mr. Walker holds a Master’s Degree from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada, and has operated at the intersection of asset-intensive businesses and capital structuring, with emphasis on execution delivery, cost control, and underwriting-based evaluation across development-stage and operating assets.

Mr. Walker is associated with North South Holdings, Inc., a Nevada-incorporated private equity and development organization with international operations based in Vancouver, British Columbia. In that capacity, he has overseen operational coordination, transaction execution, and capital allocation across asset-backed projects, working with counterparties, advisors, and financing participants.

Mr. Walker’s experience emphasizes contractual sequencing, governance oversight, and execution accountability rather than speculative strategy. His role within Environmental Minerals Inc. is centered on ensuring that corporate actions, asset contributions, and financing processes are executed in a manner consistent with institutional standards and board-level risk-management expectations.

Jason Roe – Chief Operating Officer & Board Member

Jason Roe is a development-sector executive and the author of science-based, non-fiction works focused on systems analysis, societal dynamics, and applied research. He serves as Chief Operating Officer and a Board member of Environmental Minerals Inc., and is Chief Executive Officer of Global Mana Development, operating within the PDI Global Consortium Group.

In 2016, Jason published the first of three books, The Force Is in You, a fact-based, research-driven non-fiction work that articulated an “Era of Common Sense,” emphasizing pragmatic outcomes, institutional accountability, and evidence-based decision-making. The themes developed in this work anticipated later shifts in public and market discourse, including the broader emphasis on accountability, technological disruption, and systemic reform, reflecting a sustained focus on analytical cultural behaviour and market inflection points. His 2025 book, Equal Sovereignty, extends this framework into questions of human, technological, AI, and data sovereignty, positioning sovereignty as an intrinsic right and addressing emerging legal, ethical, and market frontiers.

During 2015–2016, Jason served as a real-world Chief Executive mentor on the Management MSc programme at University College London (UCL), a research-intensive institution consistently ranked among the world’s leading universities. Working with a postgraduate student team under Professor Marco Aponte-Moreno, then Senior Teaching Fellow and Programme Director within UCL’s Department of Management Science & Innovation, he led a live commercial mandate that scaled a retail concept to 60 physical locations inside existing big-box stores on an initial operating budget of approximately $1,000, without external funding or equity capital.

Through purchase-order-backed execution and disciplined operational controls, the UCL student-led project self-generated in excess of $5,000,000 in operating income, demonstrating—under Jason Roe’s leadership—capital-efficient scaling, applied execution, data-driven decision-making, and risk management within a functioning, asset-backed operating model. The engagement directly linked academic theory with real-world commercial outcomes under live market conditions.
