Aquagga, a startup focused on eliminating “forever chemicals” known as PFAS from water sources, has appointed Dhileep Sivam as its new Chief Executive Officer. The company, based in Tacoma, Washington, has been working on perfecting its PFAS removal technology through extensive testing and experiments.
PFAS are harmful substances found in industrial and consumer products that have been linked to long-term health and environmental risks. Aquagga’s technology claims to remove 99% of PFAS from contaminated water, providing a solution to the growing concerns surrounding these chemicals.
Dhileep Sivam, with a background in clean and sustainable technology commercialization, brings a wealth of experience to his new role at Aquagga. His previous positions at Intellectual Ventures, Bill Gates’ energy research initiatives, and other organizations have equipped him with the skills needed to lead a cleantech startup like Aquagga.
In a statement, Aquagga expressed excitement about having Sivam join the team at a crucial point in the company’s growth. Sivam himself shared his enthusiasm about working with the talented and passionate team at Aquagga to further their mission of removing harmful chemicals from water sources.
The company’s Chief Operations Officer, Chris Woodruff, praised Sivam’s track record in cleantech innovation and highlighted the alignment of his values with Aquagga’s commitment to social and environmental impact. With Sivam at the helm, Aquagga is poised to meet the increasing global demand for PFAS destruction systems.
As Aquagga prepares to enter a new phase of growth in 2025 and beyond, Sivam’s leadership is expected to drive the company towards achieving its goals. The team at Aquagga is looking forward to building on past successes under Sivam’s guidance and expertise.
