Liz Dennett

Co-Founder and CEO, Endolith

Liz Dennett is the founder and CEO of Endolith, a biological intelligence company improving critical mineral recovery in real mining environments. Endolith deploys adaptive microbial systems that integrate with existing heap leach infrastructure to increase copper recovery, with field-validated results from major mining operators including BHP.

Before founding Endolith, Liz was a Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services, where she worked on scaling digital infrastructure and developed a clear view of the physical mineral constraints underlying the digital economy. That intersection — between the demand for critical materials and the limits of conventional extraction — became the foundation for Endolith’s approach.

Liz holds a PhD and brings together systems thinking, field deployment experience, and a deep conviction that biology, deployed intelligently, can close the gap between what mines produce and what they’re capable of.
