NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Fodere Critical Minerals Limited has appointed Jeffry N. Quinn as its new Chief Executive Officer, marking a significant step in the company’s journey to commercialize its proprietary technology for recovering critical minerals from industrial residues and unconventional feedstocks.
Quinn, who brings 40 years of experience in the global chemicals and mining industries, will lead the company as it transitions from technology development and pilot-scale validation to commercial deployment. His appointment comes at a critical time, as Fodere prepares to construct a prototype plant in Mississippi, aiming to demonstrate the technology at production-representative scale.
The company was founded by Nicholas Cella, John Omitogun, and Daniel Cousins, who have taken early university research and technical expertise and developed it into the current proprietary process. The founders continue to play important leadership roles in the company as it moves forward.
Quinn’s background includes serving as Chairman and CEO of Tronox (NYSE: TROX) and of Solutia Inc. (formerly NYSE: SOA), and earlier, he served as general counsel of three Fortune 500 companies. He is also the founder and Chairman of The Quinn Group LLC, a private investment and holding company focused on chemicals, mining, critical minerals, and industrial businesses.
Quinn’s appointment underscores the company’s commitment to scaling its technology and establishing a global platform to recover critical minerals from waste streams that have historically gone untapped. The founders of Fodere are pleased to have Quinn lead the company into this next phase, recognizing his experience in building and leading global companies.
Fodere Critical Minerals Limited, formerly Fodere Titanium Limited, is a United Kingdom company that has developed and owns a proprietary technology platform for recovering titanium, vanadium, and other critical minerals from industrial residues and other unconventional feedstocks. The company’s focus now is on demonstrating the technology at production-representative scale and building the foundation for global deployment.
