Born in a freshly independent India with an insatiable desire to grow up, Nikhil Trivedi realized his interest in metallurgical engineering at the age of five. Trivedi became a US citizen and went on to join Pfizer’s Minerals Division. Noting Pfizer as a company that encourages innovation and growth through research, Trivedi achieved a 30-year career there, contributing to the evolution of the mining industry.

Trivedi’s devotion to the minerals industry also expands to his commitment to organizations like SME and AIME, where Trivedi highly values his service as SME and AIME president and as an active member of committees. SME fostered Trivedi’s career and has become the love of his life.
