“I have always had an interest in working with businesses that are tackling  critical social and infrastructure needs and actually moving the technology needle in the utility sector. I’d been watching 120Water over time and saw an innovative company creating technology with a short learning curve, and solving an imperative infrastructure problem. This is something you don’t quite often see in technology systems that are new to the market. Having navigated the path of a growth stage company into something larger, I look forward to bringing my technical and product leadership to bear on 120Water’s focus and momentum,” said Brian Crow, chief product officer, 120Water.
