Nth Cycle selects vice president of business development

Nth Cycle, a metal processing and recycling technology company based in Boston, is expanding its leadership team with the hiring of Guillermo Espiga as vice president of business development. Espiga will oversee the growth of partnerships and projects using Nth Cycle's electro-extraction technology, designed to recover a domestic supply of the critical minerals and metals needed for electric vehicles and clean energy technologies.   

"Guillermo's experience and expertise in bringing industrial and sustainable businesses to scale make a fantastic addition to our team," says Megan O'Connor, CEO of Nth Cycle. "There has never been a more important time to secure a domestic supply of critical minerals and metals. Our technology enables an environmentally friendly and cost-competitive domestic mining and recycling industry. We cannot leave our destiny in the hands of others with so much riding on a transition to a cleaner and more secure world."  

The company says Espiga brings extensive experience in taking infrastructure projects from development to operations. Before joining Nth Cycle, Espiga served as an operating executive at AVAIO Capital, an infrastructure investment fund manager; head of development for Poseidon Water, a water development company; CEO of GenPower Carbon Solutions, a renewable energy company; head of project finance at InterGen, a global power developer; and a project finance banker with Credit Suisse. Espiga has led and executed energy, water and infrastructure transactions in the U.S., Latin America, Europe, Australia and Asia for more than $4 billion. Espiga has a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the Universidad Metropolitana and a M.B.A. from Boston College.  

Nth Cycle says it has open positions in engineering, business and the sciences.
