Keter Environmental Services and Waste Harmonics, which merged
in 2023 to create a leading diversified managed waste service
provider (the “Company”), today announced the appointment of Robert
“Bob” Boucher as the combined company’s Chief Executive Officer.
Waste Harmonics Founder, Michael Hess, and Keter Founder, Steven
Schlussel, will continue their involvement with the Company in
their roles on the Board and will work closely with Boucher to
ensure a smooth transition.
“Bob is a veteran of our industry, and we are pleased to welcome
a CEO of his caliber at an exciting time for the combined company,”
said Hess. “His significant experience leading teams,
transformations, integrations, and business development for global
waste management, environmental services, and energy companies
makes him an excellent fit to take us to the next level. Steve and
I look forward to working with Bob in our role on the Board to
continue driving our strategy.”
Boucher joins the Company having most recently served as CEO and
President of WIN Waste Innovations, a vertically integrated
business with a platform of 50 strategically located collection,
transfer, and disposal assets. He was previously the CEO and
Executive Director of Transpacific Industries Group, a publicly
traded waste management business in Australia. Prior to
Transpacific, Boucher worked across the U.S. waste management
industry for more than 20 years, serving in senior executive
positions with Republic Services and Synagro Technologies and
management roles with Waste Management and American Waste
Systems.
“Keter and Waste Harmonics have long been leading players in the
waste management space and the growth opportunities ahead for the
combined company are impressive,” said Boucher. “The Company’s
innovative and transformative approach to waste is driving better
customer experiences, improved efficiency, and greater recycling
and diversion. I was drawn to this opportunity because of the
Company’s forward-thinking approach, focus on innovation, and
terrific team and I look forward to partnering with Mike and Steve
to accelerate the Company’s growth and expansion.”
“In addition to his extensive waste industry experience and
track record of commercial success, we are also confident that Bob
will continue to foster the close-knit, familial culture that has
long been a hallmark of both Keter and Waste Harmonics,” added
Schlussel. “Under Bob’s leadership, we are well positioned to build
on our momentum and strengthen our position as one of the largest
waste management services providers in the U.S.”
TPG Growth, the middle market and growth equity platform of
global alternative asset manager TPG, acquired Keter in 2021 and
made a significant investment in Keter’s combination with Waste
Harmonics.
“Bob’s decades of leadership experience, strong track record,
and innovative mindset set him apart in this industry and position
him well to lead the combined company,” said BJ Loessberg, Business
Unit Partner at TPG Growth. “We are pleased to partner with Bob,
Mike, and Steve to drive continued strategic growth and strengthen
