John Shegerian, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of ERI, the nation’s leading fully integrated IT and electronics asset disposition provider and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company, led a panel discussion on Organic Growth during the Business Growth Forum at the Waste Expo in Las Vegas last week.

Hosted by Comerica and designed for small and midsized environmental services companies looking for business and financial strategies that go beyond day-to-day operations, the Business Growth Forum portion of the Waste Expo also featured panels led by established leaders in the industry, such as Shegerian.

Shegerian spoke with panelists Kevin Atkinson, owner of Texas Pride Disposal; Jason Haus, CEO of Dem-Con Companies; Tom Vaughn, chief operating officer of DTG Enterprises; and BJ Harvey, president of E.L. Harvey & Sons, about some of the best practices for finding growth in the industry.

During the discussion, Shegerian also described and shared insights on the state of the industry.

“It has been an honor and privilege to participate in the Organic Growth conversation with this well-chosen group of excellent panelists,” said Shegerian. “It has been rewarding to share what we know and what we’ve learned with other growing companies in the sector and I’m grateful to our friends at Comerica for the invitation to lead the discussion.”
