ECOVATION NAMES MICHAEL TSCHIDERER EXECUTIVE VP OF OPERATIONS

Former Mpower Communications executive brings over 15 years of experience

Ecovation, a developer of value-driven wastewater treatment and renewable energy solutions, today announced the addition of Michael J. Tschiderer as executive vice president of operations to its management team.

“Mike’s had much success in a variety of businesses and we look forward to his contributions in developing operating procedures and guidelines as our company continues to grow,” says Diane C. Creel, Ecovation’s CEO.

Tschiderer joins Ecovation with more than 15 years of experience in operations and financial management. His most recent post was at Mpower Communications as controller, treasurer, and senior vice president of finance, where he was responsible for all financial operations, developed company operating policies and SEC compliance procedures, was responsible for real estate negotiations and management, and developed all insurance risk management programs.

Before Mpower, Tschiderer was a partner at Bonadio & Co., LLP, where he founded a management consulting division for one of western New York’s largest CPA firms. At Bonadio, he also took part in mergers and acquisitions, business development, and crisis management projects. Tschiderer has also been an accounting instructor at St. John Fisher College and was once co-owner of Professional Medical Supply, which was voted a Rochester Top-100 company two years in a row.

“It was important that we hire someone with a strategic mindset and entrepreneurial spirit. Mike’s experience in both public SEC-environments and the private sector should prove invaluable,” explains Creel.

Tschiderer graduated from St. Bonaventure University in 1983 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
