WIN Waste Innovations, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has appointed waste and recycling executive Daniel Mayo as CEO.

He will head a new senior leadership team that includes Marieke Curley as chief operations officer (COO) and Doug Wilson as chief financial officer (CFO).

Mayo succeeds Robert Boucher, who is stepping down as CEO after eight years of leading the company and its predecessor, Wheelabrator Technologies. He will remain a member of the board of directors.

“Over the last five years, Dan has been key to our company’s success strategy, steering the execution of our strategic plan, in particular,” Boucher says. “I am confident that WIN will continue to build upon the momentum we have gained over the last several years.”

Mayo most recently was WIN’s CFO, a position he held since 2020, having served as chief strategy officer and in other financial leadership roles since 2018.

Before joining WIN, Mayo served as treasurer and vice president of finance for Edinburgh, Scotland-based InterGen, an international power generation developer and operator. Prior to working with InterGen, Mayo was an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in New York and London.

“Our strongest advantage comes from our hard-working staff, and we will continue to make their safety our highest priority while providing excellent service to the customers and communities that rely on WIN,” Mayo says.

Under Boucher’s leadership, WIN realized significant growth after the merger of Wheelabrator Technologies, City Carting and Tunnel Hill Partners to create a vertically integrated waste and recycling services company with revenue of more than $1 billion annually.

“It was a privilege leading the team as we built the WIN platform on which we aligned 21 companies under one system of core values while prioritizing safety, embracing diversity and driving excellent service to the customers and communities in which we operate,” Boucher says.

Curley, the incoming COO, most recently served as senior vice president of operations. She led the maturation of postcollection lines of business and instilled a culture built on safety and operational excellence. With more than 25 years of experience across operations, finance and sales, she has a deep understanding of the waste industry.

Before joining WIN, Curley served as northwest area president for Phoenix-based Republic Services Inc. where she was responsible for all company operations in seven states and generated more than $1 billion in annual revenue.

Wilson will serve as WIN’s CFO. He brings a wealth of expertise in finance and strategic planning from his 30 years in the infrastructure and energy industries.

Prior to joining WIN, Wilson was CEO of SH 130 Concession Co., which maintains a large toll road in Texas. Before that, he was CEO of Elizabeth River Crossing OpCo, which maintains several freeway tunnels in Virginia, and Broadrock Renewable Energy, a landfill gas-to-energy company that is headquartered in Johnston, Rhode Island.

Anaergia Inc., a Burlington, Ontario-based global renewable fuels producer, has appointed Brett Hodson as CEO, succeeding the company’s founder and Chairman Andrew Benedek, effective June 21.

Benedek continues to serve as chairman of the company’s board of directors.

With a proven record of successfully leading growth at companies and driving shareholder value, Anaergia says Hodson brings a wealth of experience to his new role. His experience spans a range of businesses and sectors, including building, managing and leading a portfolio of water, wastewater and energy infrastructure businesses. He also has expertise in wholesale product distribution, retail services, construction and manufacturing.

“I am thrilled to have joined Anaergia and to lead it during its next phase,” Hodson says. “The reason I chose to be a part of this company is because I firmly believe in Anaergia’s technical prowess to drive significant positive change for the environment while also meeting or exceeding the expectations of our shareholders.”

Hodson was formerly the president and CEO of Corix Infrastructure Inc., a Vancouver, British Columbia-based utility infrastructure company.

Under his leadership, the utility infrastructure company grew by more than 10 times in an eight-year period, reaching more than $650 million in revenue and growing assets under management to more than $1.5 billion.

Corix subsequently was purchased by a large Canadian pension fund.

“I am completely confident in handing over the senior leadership role in the company to him after having seen him build Corix into a highly profitable water and energy infrastructure company,” Benedek says of Hodson’s new role at Anaergia.
