As the country grapples with water scarcity, toxic contamination, and aging infrastructure, water companies are investing in forward-thinking applications of technologies to treat water and help communities meet water-related goals.

I grew up the son of an international businessman and can’t really say I can call anywhere home.

It is often said that a CEO of a company’s main role is to make a small number of high-quality, impactful decisions to dictate the direction and success of the business. All the easy stuff usually gets handled before it hits your desk. You must be decisive, strategic, and forward-thinking – all things associated with being a top CEO.
