Veolia North America announced that Matt Madeksza, an established business leader with more than 20 years’ experience in business development and industrial expertise, has been named president and chief executive officer.
Madeksza’s appointment as president and chief executive officer of Veolia North America (VNA) was announced by the Paris-based Veolia group. VNA, which operates in the U.S. and Canada, is a subsidiary of Veolia group.
Madeksza, who earlier held leadership positions with Boeing and United Technologies Corp., has spent the past 14 years with Saint-Gobain Corp. leading global businesses in Performance Plastics, Abrasives and Construction Products.
Madeksza replaces interim president and chief executive officer Brian Clarke, whose years of VNA experience helped effectively guide the company through challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Under his watch, VNA was able to secure significant acquisitions over the past year including the hazardous waste treatment plant in Gum Springs, Arkansas and the successful transition of VNA’s district energy business to Antin Infrastructure Partners.
In his new role, Madeksza will be responsible for overseeing a company that serves approximately 4,000 customers across the U.S. and Canada, building on a track record for operational and customer service excellence.
