CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y.,
Nov. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- BioHiTech Global, Inc. ("BioHiTech" or the "Company")
(NASDAQ: BHTG), a sustainable technology and services company,
announces today the appointment by its Board of Directors of
Anthony (Tony) Fuller as Chief
Executive Officer effective November 5,
2020. Mr. Fuller, who has served as the Company's
Chief Administrative Officer since March
2020 and has been a member of its Board of Directors since
2017, succeeds Frank E. Celli, the
Company's founder, who will remain as the Chairman of the Board of
Directors and will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the
future success of BioHiTech Global. Mr. Fuller will also continue
to serve as a member of the Company's Board of Directors.
Since his arrival at BioHiTech, Mr. Fuller has been instrumental
in several key initiatives at the company, including the recently
announced land acquisition deal in New
York State and the company's licensing deal for
AltaPure. Prior to his arrival, Mr. Fuller enjoyed a
thirty-year career at Walmart where he last held the position of
Senior Vice President and was instrumental in heralding Walmart's
global expansion and its groundbreaking, market-leading renewable
energy efforts while leading the Walmart Energy Group. During his
tenure, he also served as one of twelve executives on Walmart's
Global Sustainability Steering Committee, providing innovative
direction for all of the company's sustainability efforts. Among
Mr. Fuller's accomplishments in the realms of energy efficiency and
renewable projects were Walmart's market leading daylight
harvesting, lighting conversion and state of the art wind, solar
and fuel cell applications in properties across the globe. Mr.
Fuller drove the financial benefits derived from his team efforts
in evaluating, executing and project managing the implementation of
hundreds of millions of dollars in efficiency value. He also
led the teams that drove Walmart's expansion and economic
development through property site selection, development,
management and maintenance for Walmart's global portfolio of
distribution centers and stores, which grew to a network of over
140 distribution centers and 10,000 stores.
"I am deeply honored to have been chosen by the Board to assume
the role of CEO of this incredibly promising company. For many
years, Frank Celli stewarded
BioHiTech through tremendous innovation and growth into the dynamic
and diverse entity it is today," Mr. Fuller stated. "Our work
together has driven the proliferation of our three distinct, yet
highly complementary, business lines: our High Efficiency
Biological Treatment (HEBioT™) operations, which converts a variety
of waste forms into renewable fuel; our revolutionary digesters,
which divert food waste from landfills by breaking it down into a
harmless, natural, green liquid that enters the wastewater system,
coupled with our proprietary cloud technology that lets clients
analyze their food waste data and better manage their supply
chains; and our latest initiative in disinfection innovation with
the ALTAPURE AP-4, which delivers rapid and complete high-level
disinfection of large spaces through our advanced ultrasonic
product capable of delivering a dense cloud of sub-micron fog
droplets (0.69 micron avg.) for the high-level disinfection of
large spaces such as those found in hospitals, burn units, clean
rooms, schools, nursing homes, senior living communities and animal
facilities, among others."
Mr. Fuller received his B.S. in agricultural economics from
Arkansas State University and his J.D.
from the University of Arkansas.
"Tony represents the right choice to spearhead the next phase of
growth and purpose at BioHiTech and I look forward to working with
him to leverage his expertise, relationships and strategic prowess
in carrying BioHiTech into a promising tomorrow. On behalf of
the entire Board of Directors we welcome Tony to the role of CEO
and look forward to his leadership in executing on our expansive
model," said Frank E. Celli,
Chairman of BioHiTech.
