Nano One Materials Corp. has announced two senior executive appointments as it advances toward commercialisation of its lithium‑ion battery cathode technology.
Effective 17 February 2026, Alex Holmes becomes President and Chief Strategy Officer, while Denis Geoffroy is named Chief Operating Officer.
Chair Anthony Tse said: “On behalf of the Board, we have observed the leadership and execution capabilities that Alex and Denis bring to Nano One… The Board sees this leadership structure helping the Company position itself well for the next phase of growth and development.”
CEO Dan Blondal added: “As Nano One progresses toward commercialisation, disciplined execution and alignment across strategy and operations remain important.”
Holmes previously served as COO, leading strategic partnerships with Rio Tinto and Sumitomo Metal Mining, supporting capital projects and contributing to more than $45 million in government funding awards. In his new role, he will oversee strategic partnerships, capital markets activity and customer engagement.
Geoffroy, formerly Chief Commercialisation Officer, played a central role in acquiring and converting the Candiac facility to the One‑Pot™ process and scaling cathode materials from lab to commercial production. With more than 30 years’ experience in lithium battery materials, he will continue to support engineering scale‑up, production, licensing and customer qualification.
Nano One develops patented processes for producing cathode active materials, supported by facilities in British Columbia and Québec and collaborations with global partners including Sumitomo Metal Mining, Rio Tinto and Worley.
