Chief Operating Officer

 

On July 26, 2021, the Board of Directors of American Battery Metals Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Andres Meza as Chief Operating Officer of the Company (the “COO Appointment”).

 

In connection with the COO Appointment, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Meza dated July 26, 2021 (the “COO Agreement”). Pursuant to the COO Agreement, Mr. Meza is entitled to receive an annual salary of $225,000 and equity compensation subject to vesting requirements. In addition, Mr. Meza shall be entitled to receive for bonus cash and equity compensation upon the achievement of certain milestones as set forth in the COO Agreement. The COO Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

Mr. Meza, 41, has an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering and started his professional career at Georgia Pacific working as a process engineer at a paper mill. After working to gain direct hands-on chemical manufacturing expertise throughout the processing plant, he was promoted to a shift team leader. To further enhance his management and leadership skills, he attended the Harvard Business School. After receiving his MBA, he worked for Apple as a global supply manager focusing on commissioning and scaling up of manufacturing facilities across Asia and the implementation of cost efficiencies throughout their supply chain.

 

After four years optimizing high-volume manufacturing at Apple, Mr. Meza worked for the management consultancy firm McKinsey and Company as an engagement manager. In this role, he analyzed the manufacturing operations of global corporations and developed strategic assessments for executives to implement operational efficiencies in their facilities and business units. Mr. Meza subsequently joined the private equity firm Transom Capital as the Vice President of Operations working with a suite of portfolio companies in which the firm had invested. At Transom Capital, Mr. Meza used his extensive expertise in operational leadership and manufacturing to establish the required procedures and frameworks to help grow these early-stage companies into mature and stable corporations.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Meza and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Meza was selected as Chief Operating Officer. There are no relationships between Mr. Meza and the Company that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
