Water Industry Veteran Walter Lynch Joins Resilient Infrastructure Group™ as Senior Advisor

Walter Lynch joins Resilient after a successful career in the water and waste sectors where he was most recently the CEO at American Water, the largest investor-owned water and wastewater utility in the United States.

PORTLAND, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Resilient Infrastructure Group™ is pleased to announce that industry veteran Walter Lynch has joined the team as a Senior Advisor to the Board of Directors. Resilient develops and invests in transformative water, wastewater and related renewable natural gas solutions that meet our clients’ site-specific business, financial, and sustainability objectives.

Walter’s water and wastewater utility experience includes multiple senior level positions within American Water across several regions, serving his last 14 years with the company as both the CEO and COO. Prior to American Water, Walter was a successful entrepreneur in the resource recovery sector, selling his business to Waste Management and working as an executive for Synagro, a leading company in the residuals industry. As a recognized industry advocate, he has served on numerous boards, including the National Association of Water Companies and the Water Research Foundation, among many others.

“Walter brings a unique perspective to our value creation and growth plans given his decades of expertise in leading both regulated and non-regulated utility operations,” said Ben Vitale, CEO and Board Member. “Walter’s experience driving organic growth as well as the pursuit of strategic acquisitions across the water, wastewater and resource recovery sectors, including at Synagro, further strengthens our water infrastructure capabilities and renewable natural gas investments which are both experiencing rapid growth,” added Bar Littlefield, Resilient’s Lead Operating Director.

“We are fortunate to have Walter join us as we continue to pursue a broad range of opportunities across multiple segments of the water industry and the renewable gas segments,” said Bill Brennan, President. “I have worked with Walter over the last two decades and there is no finer executive in the industry who has successfully executed tactically and developed a strategic direction to take advantage of how the water industry needs to evolve in the 21st century.”
