Nubian Water Systems names Barry Porter as new CEO
Sydney, 11 July 2011: Australian owned sustainable water solutions provider, Nubian is pleased to announce the appointment of Barry Porter to the role of CEO. Barry comes to Nubian with a wealth of leadership experience having defined and led successful performance transformations across industry sectors including financial and professional services, FMCG, retail and technology companies.
Barry Porter is tasked with raising the company’s profile in the water sustainability solutions arena focusing on Nubian’s innovative technology and delivery to capture market share.
Chairman of Nubian, Gary Zamel comments, “We are delighted to have Barry on board. He is a highly regarded executive with global management and sales experience. Barry will be responsible for cementing our strong footprint in Australia and expanding our global presence, where we are already delivering solutions to the Middle East and are about to enter the North American market. With accreditation and patents in Australia and the US, Nubian is setting a new standard of excellence in sustainable water systems.”
Barry was previously Executive Director of Client Services in Australia and New Zealand for Hudson Recruitment and was Managing Director of private consulting group Quantum Shift.
Barry is a proven change agent with over twenty years in executive roles in the UK, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Commenting on his appointment Barry Porter said; "This is an exciting period for Nubian. We are dedicated to providing sustainable water solutions for the urban environment not only through our leading greywater treatment but also through our innovative water purification, quality monitoring and remote management technology.”
The 2003 UN World Water Development Report estimates by 2023 the quantity of water available will have decreased by 30%. The key factor impacting this trend is the urbanisation of the population. Nubian is determined to combat this process through the manufacture and implementation of organic treatment systems using chemical free products.
“Water is the world’s priority. It is not just an issue for rural areas or in periods of drought; with the rise in population, urbanisation and climate change, sustainable water should be on everyone’s agenda. It is Nubian’s hope that our commitment to delivering quality, environmentally friendly water systems will bring about positive change in the way the world uses its limited water supply”, commented Barry Porter, CEO of Nubian Water Systems.
