Who We Are
Ian McDonald, Founder and CEO
Mr. McDonald is a seasoned advisor, investor, and manager with extensive background and experience in finance and marketing. His career began at his family’s privately-owned equity firm called Noramco Capital. The firm focused primarily on helping private companies with which they had an equity ownership interest go public. With time, Noramco became the largest Merchant Bank of its kind in Canada.
Mr. McDonald worked for eight years in Investment Banking and Institutional Sales in an advisory role at Haywood Securities in Toronto, Vancouver, and London, U.K. He maintained deep relationships with investors and helped develop capital market strategies for junior issuers. Under McDonald’s guidance, clients raised hundreds of millions of dollars in capital.
More recently, Mr. McDonald joined the management team at Avnel Gold - a TSX-listed gold mining, exploration, and development company with operations in Southwestern Mali in West Africa. In that capacity, McDonald developed and implemented the corporate strategy as it relates to M&A and capital markets resulting in a $160 million sale to Endeavor Mining within one year.
Mr. McDonald served as a member of the Board of Directors of several TSX Venture Exchange, Canadian Securities Exchange-listed and private companies.
