Earth911, Inc., an Infinity Resources Holdings company (OTCQB:
IRHC) (OTCBB: IRHC), has appointed Preston Read, formerly of
Recyclebank, to its Advisory Board. Read will serve as an
independent advisor to drive sales of a new government offering and
business-to-business solutions for Earth911, Inc.'s recycling data
and client solutions divisions.
Read's noteworthy career in the environmental services industry
spans 25 years, from his first assignment as a Peace Corps
Renewable Energy Extension Officer in Kenya in the mid-80s to his
most recent position, as Senior Vice President, Government Affairs,
for Recyclebank. He is based in Washington, DC.
"Earth911's unique and powerful database combined with its
cutting edge digital communications capabilities will be invaluable
to recycling and waste management professionals," said Read. "I
look forward to working with the talented Scottsdale team to
establish partnerships with local government leaders across the
US."
His extensive experience in creating coalitions and advocacy
expertise at federal, state and local levels were key factors in
his candidacy for the Earth911, Inc. Advisory Board. At
Recyclebank, he led new business development for large city
procurements, closing over $15 million in revenue in two years. He
was also responsible for acquiring major brands such as Pepsi,
General Mills and SC Johnson.
As Vice President, Environmental Affairs, for the American
Beverage Association, Read led a CEO-appointed task force to
develop an award-winning recovery campaign that raised recycling
rates by 20 percent in test communities in Pennsylvania and
Virginia. He also leveraged an additional $500K in support from
packaging suppliers in order to market availability of the campaign
to stakeholders nationwide.
"Preston Read's proven success and perseverance will help
governments to reach communities across the nation with vital
recycling information. We're excited to have him represent
Earth911, Inc.'s government solutions and roll out our newly
developed program for municipalities," said Corey Lambrecht,
Earth911, Inc. President and COO.
Earth911, Inc.'s new government solution is a high-value,
low-cost, digital toolbox that enables cities to communicate
recycling and proper disposal to its citizens, on multiple
platforms, without the burden of maintaining and updating these
systems. Earth911, Inc. is currently accepting cities to pilot test
the new program. For more information on the toolkit, contact Read
