Prior to serving as President of WM Healthcare Solutions, Rafa led WM's East region, where he enabled disciplined growth through leveraging process and technology solutions focusing on consistent service delivery to customers, reducing frontline turnover and improving operational efficiency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● **Strategic Transformation:** As SVP of Strategy, he led enterprise-level transformation initiatives, using data and technology to optimise operations and drive continuous improvement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● **Integration Expertise:** Rafa led the integration of Stericycle, a $7.2bn acquisition, delivering standout first year cost synergies and establishing a path toward higher synergies over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● **Professional Education:** Holds a BBA Marketing and an MBA Operations Management from the University of Houston.

Alain Moffroid, the current interim CEO, North America, will remain on the NA leadership group supporting Rafa and the team as they continue executing their growth plan. He will support the Company through the end of 2027.
