Acampora has been promoted from Show Manager/Sales Director to Waste360 Vice President. He has been with both Waste360 and WasteExpo for 18 years. Acampora will replace Mark Hickey, who is retiring after an exceptional 30-year career in media, which spanned sales management, publisher and group publisher positions. Hickey’s contributions have been instrumental in Waste360’s growth and success.
Hickey said, “This new position is a perfect fit for Marc’s skillset and his love for the waste and recycling industry. His keen focus on our customers and the Waste360 team is unmatched, so this role was made for him. Waste360 is in great hands with Marc at the helm.”
Valentic joins as Editorial Director where she will help lead the content development and daily operations for Waste360, which covers the solid waste, recycling, organics and sustainable industries.
