For more than a decade Joe has been focused on transforming the eMaterials ecosystem in a quest to simultaneously maximize both environmental and economic sustainability. In both consulting and executive leadership roles with various leading industry players, Joe has consistently orchestrated top- and bottom-line growth while facilitating improvements in the sustainability of reuse, resale, and recycling operations across a wide range of eMaterials including mobile devices; computing, IT, and telecom equipment; consumer electronics; and batteries. This experience led him to focus on the area where he saw the greatest opportunity for improvement in both the environmental and economic vectors of sustainability: the rechargeable battery ecosystem. With his current venture, IT eCycling Solutions (ITeC), Joe’s mission is to revolutionize this ecosystem by creating the world’s first global Virtual Battery Processing Network. In adopting this model, rather than making investments in static infrastructure assets—that may be rendered obsolete by the next technological advancement in either battery chemistry or processing technology—IteC is investing in partnerships with best-in-class processors and logistics providers, creating a growing, flexible pool of processing capacity around the globe. This allows ITeC to match demand for battery recycling from clients anywhere on Earth to processing capacity optimized according to geographic location, battery chemistry, and process technology. Prior to founding ITeC, Joe advised and led corporations ranging in size from Fortune 500 companies to venture-backed startups to small, privately held entrepreneurial ventures; he served these firms in a number of capacities including consultant, board advisor, President, COO, and VP. Through this experience Joe has developed a reputation as a highly-effective, values-focused leader who delivers pragmatic strategic plans that lead to accelerated achievement of operational goals.
