A local CEO is being recognized by Goldman Sachs as one of the 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs of 2021.

John Shegerian, chairman and CEO of ERI, a fully integrated IT and electronics recycler, was selected by Goldman Sachs as one of the 100 entrepreneurs in various industries to be honored at its Builders + Innovators Summit two-day event in Healdsburg in Northern California this week.

Shegerian is being recognized for his work that propelled ERI to become the largest cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction and electronic waste recycling company in the United States.

Today, ERI has the capacity to responsibly process more than a billion pounds of electronic waste annually at its eight certified locations, serving every zip code in the U.S.

“What a tremendous honor to be named alongside this list of visionary entrepreneurs from around the world,” said Shegerian. “We’re proud of what we do at ERI – protecting people, the planet and privacy…and keeping millions of pounds of toxic e-waste out of landfills. Being recognized by Goldman Sachs at this event is a powerful reminder that we’re doing the right thing and helps inspire us to continue with our commitment to do more.  I am truly grateful and humbled.”  

Along with honoring 100 entrepreneurs, the summit also consists of general sessions and clinics led by seasoned entrepreneurs, academics and business leaders, as well as resident scholars.

“Innovation doesn’t happen just anywhere; it thrives where there’s a wide range of thoughts and perspectives,” said David M. Solomon, chairman & CEO of Goldman Sachs. “One of our great strengths is our ability to bring together people from different walks of life and to spark conversations today that will lead to breakthroughs tomorrow. The leaders we’ve chosen to highlight at our Builders + Innovators Summit are truly remarkable, and we are pleased to recognize John Shegerian as one of this year’s most intriguing entrepreneurs.”
