“We are excited to announce Mr. Watson’s joining our team.” stated Jim Ackerly, President and CEO of Defentect. “His experience in real estate, waste handling, and venture finance fit perfectly with our needs in BioChar Plus where we are developing multiple projects to transform waste materials into environmentally beneficial high-carbon products.
