Fortera has bolstered its global expansion plans with the appointments of two key leaders to grow its low-carbon cement technology.
Sand Clancy and John Dotson have joined Fortera as chief projects officer and general counsel, respectively.
“We’re building a company that can revolutionise the way cement and concrete are made around the world,” Fortera chief executive officer Ryan Gilliam said.
“It takes more than breakthrough technology; it requires delivering an economically competitive solution for our partners. Sandy and John bring the strategic insight and operational rigor to transform this massive market with solutions that are ready to deploy now, not years down the road.”
Clancy will focus on Fortera’s project pipeline, including bringing the company’s ReCarb plants online at scale and on time. Previously, Clancy worked at JERA Americas, one of the world’s largest energy producers. This provided him with experience in complex energy and industrial builds across the United States and Canada, focusing on engineering, execution, and stakeholder alignment.
“Joining the Fortera team is a unique opportunity to deliver technology that creates both environmental and economic value,” Clancy said.
“We’re engineering solutions that work with existing infrastructure while delivering superior performance. My focus is on building a project delivery pipeline that brings cost-effective, scalable cement solutions to market efficiently and repeatedly, creating value for our partners while meeting the need for cleaner materials.”
Dotson has more than 25 years of legal experience including senior roles at Chevron and Raytheon. This included working on international deals, joint ventures, and regulatory frameworks. In his new role, he will focus on legal, regulatory, and compliance strategies.
“Fortera offers a rare combination of innovation, proven technology, and clear market opportunity,” Dotson said.
“I’m excited to help build the legal foundation for a company that offers a path to modernize a massive market while creating value for all stakeholders.”
