About

Timothy Kambidima is redefining how the world sees mining and metals.

From Zambia’s Kansanshi Mining PLC, at the heart of the global energy transition, he works at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and influence, shaping how high stake moments involving presidents, policymakers, and industry leaders are understood by the world.

His work has been featured in TIME Magazine and Mining Technology, capturing defining moments in one of the world’s most critical industries.

At Kansanshi’s S3 expansion, he helped put a human face to Zambia’s largest copper investment in a generation, translating scale into story, and operations into meaning.

What sets Timothy apart is not just technical execution, but strategic instinct. Understanding what a story needs to resonate, and where it needs to land.

In an industry that often struggles to connect with global audiences, his work bridges that gap making complex, large scale operations resonate with policymakers, investors, and audiences across continents.
