In the latest episode of the Waste360 NothingWasted! podcast, we catch up with waste industry veteran – Bill Caesar, who is now operating partner at Generate Capital. Learn what Caesar has been doing since the GFL acquisition, the evolution of the circular economy, investing in sustainable technologies, human-centered leadership and more. And did you know he was in the CIA? Here is a glimpse into the discussion: Waste360 : Could you tell us a little about your background before you joined Generate? Caesar: I was formerly the CEO of a company called WCA waste — a traditional solid waste collection, disposal, and recycling company headquartered in Houston, Texas. We were owned by a private equity firm, and we took that business from about $250 million in revenue when I got there in 2014 to a little over $400 million in revenue when we sold the business in 2020. Before WCA, I spent four years at Waste Management and ran the recycling business. I also had responsibility for their portfolio of investments in early-stage technologies and services. For the 13 years before Waste Management, I was a partner at McKinsey & Company; spent some time at business school; and for the six years after college and before business school, I was at the CIA.
