“After 20 years in the waste industry running a large division of Republic Services in Northern California and then serving as the Director of Solid Waste for the City and County of Denver, I chose to join Bill Bradley at 5280 Waste Solutions because I believed he had correctly designed a strategy and a process to break out of the pack and create value. He and I did that. We raised the profile and value of the business following his plan. And even though Bill sold the company, his creative vision for the expanded value of this business is still the strategy we are building out today with new private equity owners."

Throughout my career, I have worked with many talented professionals, but Bill stands out for his expertise and strategic insight. He has a remarkable ability to evaluate and optimize every aspect of an organization, from operational performance to financial strategy, always with a clear focus on the end result.
Bill has a talent for bringing all departments together and ensuring they work in alignment toward shared objectives. His collaborative approach enables seamless execution across the organization.

He reinvisioned our opportunity and recast the value proposition to get in front of the rapidly emerging open source and Linux platform developments.
