Rodney Thompson

Rodney brings nearly two decades of global investment banking experience to Alnitak Resources, with a particular focus on the structuring, financing, and execution of complex transactions in the mining and critical minerals sector. His career spans high-impact mergers and acquisitions, special situations, and strategic advisory mandates across diverse markets — with deep expertise in commodity trading, risk management, and cross-border arbitrage.

At Alnitak Resources, Rodney leads the firm’s strategic positioning across emerging markets, building sovereign-aligned partnerships that pair private capital with national development priorities. He works directly with senior government officials, multilateral development finance institutions, and institutional capital partners to align project financing with host-nation industrial strategy.

Rodney’s command of emerging technologies — spanning fintech, clean energy, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing — informs his approach to capital structuring across Alnitak’s portfolio. He architects blended capital stacks combining sovereign guarantees, green bonds, multilateral political risk insurance, and preferred equity to bring complex resource projects toward bankability in jurisdictions where conventional project finance has historically struggled to clear.

With a proven record across multiple jurisdictions, Rodney and his team meticulously manage every aspect of transaction execution — driving sustainable growth for Alnitak Resources, its sovereign partners, and the institutional capital it deploys alongside Winthrop-Cissé Capital, the global investment bank where Rodney serves as Founder and Managing General Partner.
