Glenn Smith Interview

Why did you create T2M Resources Inc?

Over the last 5 years it has become apparent to me that Sustainable Resource Development must be taken more seriously if we are to prevent further irreversible damage to our global environment. My long standing interest and involvement in renewable energy and water re-use helped me recognize that a sustainable resource organization needed to be created to bring technology, people, and projects together in an effective way.

How did you meet your international partner, NMH Search of London?

Michael Naylor (Director and Founder of NMH Search) and I first met in 1996. He has headhunted me (or tried!!) at least several times since then. I eventually realized, after several years, that I wanted to become the hunter and not the hunted!

What does your Company do?

T2M Resources, Inc. is dedicated to Sustainable Resource Development particularly from a North American perspective. This involves working with a wide variety of emerging companies who need to assemble first class management teams and non-executive board members.The goal is to bring together a team to deliver superior shareholder returns based on environmentally sound business strategies.

How do you see the North American market evolving?

Europe is clearly ahead of North America in terms of how its approaching sustainable resource development. The Kyoto Protocol has created a huge galvanizing effect across Europe for renewable energy in particular. However, the North American market potential for sustainable resource development is massive, and has shown signs of gathering momentum and focus over the past 12 months. I think this bodes well and points to an upswing in the need for first class management talent to lead this emerging industry sector.

What do you enjoy about your work?

Variety is the key driver for me. Meeting and talking to all sorts of people within a single day is truly the spice of life. Ultimately helping both individuals and emerging companies meet their respective goals is a job well done.

What other interests do you have?

I am a keen follower of the England Rugby team, ski whenever possible, and have too much yard work to do!!
