Green EnviroTech president steps down

California-based Green EnviroTech Holdings Corp. (GETH) has announced changes to its management team and a new addiction to its board of directors, effective immediately.

After two years, GETH president and CEO Chris Bowers has stepped down from his position as president and board of directors' member to “focus on other professional and philanthropic endeavors,” the company says. Bowers will remain as a consultant, with emphasis on expanding an existing financial relationship.

GETH’s founder and former President and CEO Gary De Laurentiis will resume the position of CEO as Bowers departs.

“I speak for the entire management team and our strategic partners when I say that we are grateful for the energy and enthusiasm Chris brought to the team during his tenure,” De Laurentiis says. “I look forward with enthusiasm to resuming the position of CEO while advancing the ongoing projects in which I and the rest of the team are presently engaged.”

Green EnviroTech also appointed Robert "Skip" Anderson as a new member of its board of directors. Anderson has been involved in the recycling industry since 1964, when he purchased New York-based Richmond Iron and Metal Recycling, the first of many scrap businesses he owned.

Anderson and De Laurentiis became acquainted in 2010 when Anderson discovered an illegal tire dump buried beneath one of his recycling yards and needed to find a disposal solution.

“I am very much looking forward to joining the GETH team,” Anderson says. “Our primary objectives in the New Year are getting the company into a strong revenue position and increasing shareholder value. We will accomplish this by rolling out as many GETH tire processing plants as we can, both domestically and internationally.”

The company also announced Craig Fischer at GETH’s outside media relations liaison.
