eXcellerate was founded in 2022 by Eduard (Eddy) Haegel and David O'Rourke — mining leaders with decades of executive and operational leadership across tier-one mining companies. In particular, Eddy held senior leadership roles at BHP, including Asset President and Vice President Minerals. Similarly, David led major mining operations through senior site, production, and general management roles with BHP, Anglo American, and other leading mining companies.
Together, they built a network of seasoned industry specialists. As a result, eXcellerate can assemble fit-for-purpose teams tailored to each engagement. This approach combines deep operational expertise with leading-edge technology to deliver practical, high-impact outcomes.
Collaboration is key in the achievement of meaningful and sustainable change. Therefore, we combine a boots on the ground approach with sharp data analytics to uncover opportunities. Furthermore, we develop holistic strategies and empower teams, lifting operational efficiency and profitability.
