Executive Board Member

THE OPPORTUNITY: This is a targeted board search for an executive who understands how electronic-waste material moves through the recycling economy—and, crucially, who controls commercially valuable printed circuit boards (PCBs), how those materials are bought and sold, and what makes a recovery partnership profitable. The company seeks independent board-level expertise in e-waste feedstock, IT asset disposition (ITAD), OEM reverse logistics, recycling operations, metals recovery, and strategic industrial partnerships. We value relevant commercial knowledge and relationships over a prestigious title alone. WHAT YOU WILL CONTRIBUTEProvide independent strategic oversight of feedstock supply, commercialization, scale-up, and associated commercial risks. Help evaluate opportunities with electronics recyclers, ITAD providers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), industrial scrap processors, and downstream metals refiners. Advise on long-term supply agreements, toll processing, revenue-sharing arrangements, and potential joint ventures. Bring commercial insight into PCB grading and pricing, precious- and base-metal recovery economics, logistics, working capital, and counterparty risk. Support prudent capital allocation, corporate governance, and a disciplined path to sustainable operations. Where relevant, contribute expertise in domestic critical-material supply chains, government-supported industrial programs, or strategic funding partnerships. YOUR BACKGROUND We are especially interested in former or current Presidents, CEOs, COOs, EVPs, SVPs, and VPs whose careers have included direct responsibility for one or more of the following: Sourcing, trading, or processing electronic scrap, particularly high-value circuit boards, servers, telecom equipment, and other end-of-life electronics. Building and managing significant commercial relationships with e-waste generators, collection networks, ITAD businesses, metals recyclers, and downstream processors. Leading reverse logistics, OEM take-back programs, asset recovery, materials procurement, or industrial recycling partnerships. Negotiating substantial feedstock supply, processing, distribution, or JV agreements. Managing a relevant operating P&L and helping scale a capital-conscious industrial business. RELEVANT INDUSTRY TALENT POOLS Backgrounds at companies such as Sims Lifecycle Services, ERI, Iron Mountain Asset Lifecycle Management, WM, GFL Environmental, Dell Technologies, Intel, and major nonferrous or precious-metals recyclers are of particular interest. These names illustrate relevant experience only; they are not identified as participating in or endorsing this search. ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGESKnowledge of R2v3, e-Stewards, ITAD, and responsible downstream recycling. Experience with copper, gold, silver, or palladium recovery value chains. Independent-director, public-company, audit/risk, or governance exposure. Experience with U.S. critical-material initiatives, DOE/DoD programs, or public-private industrial partnerships. THE PERSON You may have led at scale, but you remain energized by helping an emerging business solve practical commercial problems. You are thoughtful, credible, resourceful, accessible, and comfortable working with an entrepreneurial leadership team. This is a nonexecutive oversight appointment—not an operating sales role or a ceremonial board seat. BOARD STRUCTURE Primarily virtual meetings, periodic travel, and strategic engagement appropriate to an independent director. Cash and equity compensation will be discussed with qualified candidates and is subject to the company’s approved program. Specific terms and board/committee requirements will be confirmed during the process.
