The EAG North America team keeps on growing!

Three new people are working with the EAG team as The Energy Alliance Group of North America expands into Ohio and reaps the benefits of a college intern’s talents.

Welcome to Ohio residents Tim Gladieux and Richard (Rick) Bell as they work with EAG’s corporate team organizing The Energy Alliance Group of Ohio. Gladieux , taking the lead with EAG/Ohio, lives in the Toledo area, where he owned and managed V/Gladieux Enterprises, Inc. for 27 years.

That company was involved with numerous clients including airport and inflight, education, college dining, athletic concessions, catering, dinner theater and dining cruise operations, vending, correctional, health care and janitorial, with additional interests in professional sports team management, facility management, real estate development, marina management and yacht sales. Gladieux earned his bachelors of arts degree at University of Miami.

EAG of Ohio’s other team member, Rick Bell, also started his own company, Sustainable Environmental Energy Engineering (SEE Engineering), which operates out of the Cleveland area.

Until 2014, he served as Environmental Director at a major multinational manufacturer, TRW Automotive Inc., where he was responsible for the development, planning, organizing, directing, and implementation (both strategic and tactical) of environmental and energy programs for the company.

He had global roles and responsibilities that included leading a broad variety of personnel (project managers, plant personnel, suppliers, and outside consultants) in the areas of environmental remediation and energy at current manufacturing plants and legacy facilities worldwide. He led the HS&E Business Excellence program and is also a certified Six Sigma Black Belt.

Bell earned his masters degree in Business Administration at the University of St. Louis and his bachelors of science degree in environmental engineering at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, in Indiana.
