Jowdat Waheed is a senior Canadian mining executive[1][2] and Chartered Financial Analyst.
[3] In early 2010 he worked as a consultant for the Baffinland Iron Mine, a firm with plans to build a huge open-pit mine in northern Baffin Island, expecting to exploit almost $100 billion Canadian dollars of iron ore.[1] Later in 2010 Waheed helped lead a hostile takeover attempt of all of Baffinland's stock.
In January 2012 The Globe and Mail reported that some senior executives were suspected of profiting from "insider trading" of Baffinland stock.
[2] In February 2012 CBC News reported that a hearing before the Ontario Securities Commission had been scheduled for January 2013.
On August 23, 2016, Canadian Underwriters wrote that an appeal by Baffinland shareholders allowed them to sue Waheed, for misrepresentation.
