BlackPath advises leaders on the decisions that shape what their organisations become. Clients trust us when commercial ambition, community expectation, and cultural obligation come together, and value our judgement, discretion, and independence.

Experience and judgement

We have advised on capital decisions, organisational design, and heritage strategy across some of Australia's most significant mining, energy, and infrastructure operations. That experience informs everything we do.

Few advisory firms can hold commercial and cultural ground with equal credibility. It is the reason BlackPath exists.

Founded on experience

Chris founded BlackPath in 2025. He is a Yirandhali and Koa man whose career spans more than twenty years of leadership across some of Australia's largest mining, energy, and infrastructure operations.

Chris has governed capital portfolios exceeding $11 billion across Rio Tinto, BHP, and Fortescue, and chaired the closure steering committee overseeing more than $5 billion in mine closure portfolios across Western Australia.

He holds an Executive MBA from UNSW and serves in an advisory capacity across several boards.

Our firm

We are selective about the work we take on and the organisations we work with. We commit only where our advice will carry real weight.

Our mission is to create sustainable outcomes for company, community, and Country.
