Renewable fuels company Anaergia Inc. has appointed Assaf Onn as acting CEO, effective June 24. The action follows the mutual decision by the board of directors and former CEO Brett Hodson to transition to new leadership following the investment of Marny Investissement SA in Anaergia, which produces renewable natural gas, fertilizers and other organic compounds.
“Assaf knows our business well, and the board is confident that he is the right leader to oversee the business during this transition period. The Board will oversee the execution of the Company’s strategy together with the new leadership from Marny,” Andrew Benedek, founder and chair of the board, said in a June 27 press release.
Onn was appointed to the board in connection with the closing of the CA$13.6 million second tranche of the expected CA$29.8 million (US$21.76 million) strategic investment in Anaergia by a subsidiary of Marny on April 1.
Onn has served as Marny’s COO since 2008 and has more than two decades of experience managing large operations throughout central and eastern Europe and the Middle East. Onn holds a bachelor’s degree in business management from Washington State University.
