John Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of ERI, recently participated alongside fellow IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) industry leaders Bob Houghton, CEO of Sage Sustainable Electronics and Neil Peters-Michaud, CEO of Cascade Asset Management for an ITAD industry leadership roundtable discussing the current landscape of ITAD and how it can help protect businesses in any industry.

Understanding ITAD: A Roundtable Discussion with Three CEOs, is designed to be an engaging discussion to provide enterprise ITAM, procurement, finance, and ESG professionals with a foundational understanding of IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and its critical role in corporate IT and sustainability strategies.

The virtual event was hosted and moderated by industry though leader and analyst David Daoud of Compliance Standards.

With topics spanning ESG compliance, data security, cost optimization, and emerging risks, this session offers practical guidance and forward-looking advice for enterprise leaders seeking to optimize their ITAD strategies.

“This compelling and educational conversation delves into the ITAD industry's evolution, highlighting its critical role in the circular economy, sustainability efforts, and the adoption of emerging technologies like AI and automation,” said Daoud. “From managing secure asset retirements to navigating the complexities of IT asset management (ITAM), our roundtable of three ITAD expert CEOs share their expertise on how ITAD can support enterprises in achieving net-zero goals and maximizing the lifecycle of technology investments. We’re excited for the audience to receive a comprehensive understanding of ITAD’s strategic importance and its potential for growth in the rapidly changing tech landscape.”

“It was a great honor and privilege to join my friends and colleagues Bob and Neil to share information on trends pertaining to the most critical and pressing issues surrounding ITAD and the future of IT asset disposition,” said Shegerian. “Communication and education are vital if we are to problem-solve and work together to create solutions that protect our planet, as well as our digital privacy and security. We’re grateful to David for putting together this critical forum to serve as an opportunity for leaders to share what they know and discuss vital best practices.”

“In ITAD the stakes are high should the service provider make a critical mistake,” said Houghton. “Our three companies have earned the market’s trust from decades of shared commitment to integrity, security and sustainability.”

“This discussion is a great overview of trends and strategies related to ITAD and the circular economy,” said Peters-Michaud. “I always learn something new when I speak with John, Bob, and David, and I’m sure the audience will, too. This conversation reveals how we, as business leaders, have confidence in the market to allow responsible ITAD businesses to grow while making positive impacts on people and the planet.”
