Bill Caesar joins Sortera Alloys board of directors

Sortera Alloys, Fort Wayne, Indiana, developers of a sorting system for nonferrous scrap metal, has announced the appointment of Bill Caesar to its board of directors. Caesar brings decades of experience in waste management and recycling, corporate strategy and technology innovation. He will serve as an independent director at Sortera.

“We are very fortunate that Bill has chosen to join our board of directors and I am very excited to have him as a part of our team,” Nalin Kumar, CEO of Sortera, says. “I firmly believe that his expertise in the recycling industry will be instrumental in developing new business strategies for Sortera’s certified high purity metal alloy products, enabled by our patented artificial intelligence technology.”

Caesar’s most recent position was as the chief executive officer of WCA Waste Corp., a vertically integrated, nonhazardous solid waste and recycling services company based in Houston that was acquired by GFL in 2020. Prior to this role, he held several positions with Waste Management (WM) Inc. He joined WM in 2010 as the chief strategy officer and in 2012 became the president of WM Recycling and the WM Organic Growth Group, where he developed the recyclable materials business for WM and oversaw its portfolio of early stage technology and services investments. Prior to joining WM, Caesar was a principal in the Atlanta office of McKinsey & Co., where he advised clients across a broad spectrum of industries, including waste management, on corporate strategy, growth initiatives, performance improvement and sales strategies.

“I am excited to play a role in helping Nalin and the team at Sortera develop and refine Sortera’s innovative metal sorting technology and its business model,” Caesar says. “There is a huge market for this technology as it will significantly reduce the cost of sustainably recovering value from recycled metals on an industrywide scale.”
