The U.S. EPA’s outgoing Assistant Administrator Radhika Fox is now joining Xylem as a strategic advisor to the company.
Xylem, a water technology company, announced today that it has appointed Fox as a senior advisor. In the role, Fox will provide strategic council to the company in the water sector.
“The water sector is at a critical moment – escalating water challenges, aging infrastructure, and the need for generational investment in the face of climate change,” said Radhika Fox in a press release. “Xylem and its customers are at the forefront of an essential global trend to modernize water systems and build resilient, water-secure communities. I am so pleased to join the Xylem team as they realize technology’s potential to transform the availability, quality and affordability of water.”
In her previous role as Assistant Administrator for the U.S. EPA Office of Water, Fox acted as chief advisor on water resources and infrastructure. Before her work with EPA, Fox also served as CEO of the U.S. Water Alliance.
“Radhika is one of the world’s most insightful and effective champions of water – a universally respected voice for solutions to society’s biggest water challenges,” said Matthew Pine, Xylem president and CEO, in a press release. “She has an extraordinary track record of engaging stakeholders, building consensus, and driving positive change in how we tackle water and climate challenges. We are pleased she is bringing her energy and insights to Xylem.”
