David Birkenshaw

Managing Director in Toronto, Ontario

Hello, my name is David Birkenshaw. I have been the Managing Director of Birkenshaw & Company Ltd. for 35 years. During my working practice, I’ve specialized in capital markets and financial services. My investments focus on the mining industry and other important industries in Toronto.

My journey has been full of unique obstacles and opportunities that have defined my career. Previously, I served as CEO and Chairman of Meryllion Resources Corporation (TSX), a natural resource company with exploration projects in South America and Oceania. Additionally, I founded Bluesky Digital Assets (TSX)—formerly known as BitBlox Technologies Inc.—an AI and blockchain investment company involved in research and investment services. I served as Chairman and CEO of Atlas Corporation (NYSE), as well as Director and Vice President of Price Waterhouse Cooper.

My degree from York University in Toronto has given me the ability to bring a different viewpoint on the financial world. I bring my knowledge of arbitrage, portfolio management, and strategic planning to every project I take on. I continue to focus my career on adding value to the industries in which I work.

Investing in Toronto’s business community has been one of the greatest joys of my career. Working with like-minded investors and leaders who are equally passionate about growth is truly inspiring. I’m always looking for new ways to add value, contributing to the improvement of not just my own company, but for the whole community.

I’m grateful for the experiences and challenges that have shaped me into the businessman that I am today. The most important lesson I’ve learned is that there’s no particular method for success in this industry—it’s about constant personal growth, focusing on goals, and being adaptable.

I remain committed to applying a high standard of professionalism and purpose in all that I do. I’m excited about what is to come, and I look forward to seeing how our work at Birkenshaw & Company continues to support the industries we care about.
