Joe Caliri - Renewable and Advancing Technologies Manager, Aerospace and Defense Manager
Joe Caliri will be exceeding a decade of experience in the chemical and environmental, health, and safety industries in 2010. A lifelong resident of MA, Joe received his B.A. in Business Management from Westfield State College in 2000 and currently resides in the Metro Boston area.
He began his career as manufacturer’s representative, selling one of the first lines of "green" chemistries in the U.S. With a vast knowledge of chemical applications, and of course regulation, he made the natural transition into the environmental services industry. He worked for one of the largest national environmental services firms in the country until 2005, when he joined Triumvirate Environmental’s Industrial Division.
Joe quickly became the epitome of what we emphasize as an account manager here at Triumvirate, WOWing his colleagues and clients every day. He takes a holistic approach in evaluating your overall plant operations and implements a reduce, re-use, recycle theory as the baseline for his recommendations. More recently he has become an expert in battery technologies, and developed a sustainable program which has yielded not only drastic waste reduction, but tremendous cost savings for some very high profile clientele across the Northeast.
Joe's principle approach for accounts is to work alongside them to provide innovative and cost effective solutions. If you would like to arrange for a consultation with Joe, please contact him directly at jcaliri@triumvirate.com

Upon leaving his field chemist position, he spent 9 years working as an environmental engineer at a large chemical R&D center for a Fortune 500 company.
Todd’s career there gave him invaluable experience in hazardous waste management, radioactive waste management, environmental capital projects, surface water and ground water compliance, and safety compliance training. He was also the Incident Commander for the site emergency response team and the technical environmental contact for any spills or safety concerns for his employer’s products around the world. The site that Todd worked at was permitted to be a RCRA Part B Facility. This provided him with additional experience in permit compliance and communications/inspections with the NJDEP and EPA.
In October of 2002, Todd Kato left his environmental engineer position to assume an account management position for a commercial hazardous waste incinerator. He brought with him the unique skill set of an environmental services account manager that spent extensive time as a client to environmental service companies. This was a very smooth transition as he could and still does relate to his clients and prospective clients as he previously held their position on the client side of the business.
In summary, Todd Kato is a diverse environmental professional with significant experience as a generator/client and as an environmental services partner to his clients. His educational and work career has always been focused on compliance and projects in all environmental media.
