How It All Started

Unicus Global began as a vision to transform executive search in the mining sector, inspired by the need for tailored solutions that connect exceptional leaders with the unique challenges of the industry.

  • The Story Behind Unicus Global

    Unicus Global was born from a vision to redefine executive search within the mining and minerals sector. Our founder, Rob Popham, recognised a gap in the market for a firm that not only understood the intricacies of the industry but also had the agility to adapt to its rapidly changing landscape. Having spent years in executive search, Rob saw firsthand the challenges faced by mining companies in securing top-tier talent. He understood that the success of any organisation hinges on the leadership guiding it. With this insight, he set out to create a company that would bridge the gap between exceptional talent and the unique needs of mining organisations. Drawing on his extensive network and experience, Rob established Unicus Global with a commitment to precision, integrity, and excellence. From the outset, the firm adopted a ‘Global then Local’ approach, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the global market while tailoring solutions to meet the specific requirements of each client. As Unicus Global grew, so did our team of dedicated professionals, each bringing a wealth of knowledge and a shared passion for the mining sector. Together, we have built a reputation for delivering outstanding results, forging lasting relationships with clients and candidates alike. Today, Unicus Global stands as a leader in executive search, dedicated to empowering mining companies with the exceptional talent they need to thrive. Our story is one of commitment, expertise, and a relentless pursuit of excellence—qualities that continue to define our journey as we shape the future of mining leadership.
