WIN Waste Innovations recently made changes to three roles in its senior leadership team. Dan Mayo is now CEO, as longtime leader Bob Boucher steps back after eight years in the position.
Mayo was previously CFO and served in other roles such as chief strategy officer at WIN, and predecessor company Wheelabrator Technologies, since 2018. He was previously a vice president of finance and treasurer at power generation developer InterGen, following roles at Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.
“I am honored to serve as CEO of WIN and look forward to leading our next phase of growth as we seek to leverage our world-class, irreplicable asset base to create long-term value through the provision of essential services,” said Mayo in a statement. “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.”
“Over the last five years, Dan has been key to our company’s success strategy; steering the execution of our strategic plan, in particular,” said Boucher. “I am confident that WIN will continue to build upon the momentum we have gained over the last several years.”
Boucher will remain a member of the company’s board of directors. He joined Wheelabrator as president and CEO in 2015 following a career with WM, Republic Services, Synagro, Transpacific Industries and others.
After Macquarie’s acquisition of Wheelabrator and Tunnel Hill Partners in 2019, Boucher helped lead the combination of those two companies — and other operations such as City Carting — into the newly-formed WIN Waste brand that debuted in 2021.
During Boucher’s tenure, the company pursued a vertically-integrated strategy by expanding beyond Wheelabrator’s post-collection capabilities. This growth was fueled by the acquisition of notable hauling, transfer and recycling assets during a particularly active period of consolidation in New England, as well as deals in other areas such as Georgia and Ohio.
“It has been a tremendous honor to serve as the CEO of Wheelabrator and WIN and I am incredibly proud of the team we have assembled and the accomplishments we have achieved,” said Boucher, noting an effort to integrate 21 companies into one platform.
WIN also announced Marieke Curley as the company’s new chief operating officer. In her prior role as senior vice president of operations, Curley managed areas such as collections and post-collection with a focus on safety. She has more than 25 years of experience in relevant roles, including time as Northwest area president for Republic Services, overseeing operations with more than $1 billion in annual revenue.
The COO role most recently was held by Anthony Farina, who came from City Carting.
Doug Wilson is WIN’s new CFO, following Mayo’s promotion. He previously served as the CEO at infrastructure and energy entities such as major Texas highway SH 130, Elizabeth River Crossings and Broadrock Renewable Energy.
WIN reports operating 52 locations, including waste-to-energy or combustion facilities, ash monofills, landfills, transfer stations, MRFs and hauling locations. Its rail transfer assets are the largest in the U.S. waste industry and its network of combustion facilities is the second largest. The company currently operates in multiple Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, as well in Georgia, Florida and Ohio.
