Tim Hawk is a London based Director in the Mining, Metals and Industries team of Societe Generale, one of Europe’s leading financial services groups. Prior to moving to Societe Generale in 2018, Tim spent 12 years at Investec, where his role spanned debt financing, commodity structuring, and principal investments for projects and corporates in the metals and mining sector across the globe.

In line with Societe Generale’s leadership in financing the transition to a low carbon economy, Tim advises on and structures transactions in his sector that are increasingly critical to a de-carbonised world. These include projects in the battery value chain, including in the production of the critical minerals required as well as in the development of the gigafactories needed to transform these minerals into high quality batteries. Tim also advises on transactions in hard to abate mining and metals industries, most notably in a ground-breaking project to produce carbon free steel using hydrogen rather than coal.

Tim is also a participating member in the Faraday Battery Challenge Advisory Group and has participated as a member on the Battery Investment Platform of the European Battery Alliance. He holds a Diploma in Law from BPP Law School in London, and a Bachelor (Honours) in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Durham University.
