Shh … The Global Coal Market is Thriving

Bio: Stephen Doyle began his career in 1982 in New York City exporting coking and thermal coal to steel mills and power plants around the globe.  In 1997 he shifted into risk management and established over-the-counter coal trading operations for several companies including Peabody Energy.  In 2002, Steve founded Doyle Trading Consultants (DTC), a firm based in Grand Junction with offices in New York, St. Louis and Annapolis and hired eight CMU grads.  DTC specializes in providing major energy companies, trading houses and financial institutions with risk management assessments along with insight & research on the global coal markets.  Steve authored several editions of the Coal Trading Handbook and regularly taught commodity trading workshops in London, Singapore and New York City.  He sold DTC in 2013 and remained in a leadership role until his departure in 2015.  He founded BtuBaron LLC in 2015 to serve as his platform for publishing research and insight on the global coal markets.  Steve and his wife Sibylle live in Glade Park and in Düsseldorf, Germany.  He earned his Bachelor of Arts at the University of Colorado and his MBA at the Thunderbird School of International Management.  He serves on the boards of the New York Coal Trade Association, the Avalon Theatre Foundation, the Glade Park summer movie program and the Guys Giving Club.  When Steve is not skiing or playing golf, you can often find him on stage singing, dancing and acting for the High Desert Opera.
