Xylem has announced the appointment of Radhika Fox as a senior advisor to the company. Fox most recently served as assistant administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Water, leaving that position in February 2024.
“Radhika is one of the world’s most insightful and effective champions of water – a universally respected voice for solutions to society’s biggest water challenges,” said Matthew Pine, Xylem president and CEO. “She has an extraordinary track record of engaging stakeholders, building consensus, and driving positive change in how we tackle water and climate challenges. We are pleased she is bringing her energy and insights to Xylem.”
A press release from Xylem said Fox will provide strategic counsel to Xylem on evolving issues and opportunities in the water sector and provide advice on a range of matters to support the delivery of Xylem’s strategy.
“The water sector is at a critical moment – escalating water challenges, aging infrastructure, and the need for generational investment in the face of climate change,” said Fox. “Xylem and its customers are at the forefront of an essential global trend to modernize water systems and build resilient, water-secure communities. I am so pleased to join the Xylem team as they realize technology’s potential to transform the availability, quality and affordability of water.”
Prior to her time at the EPA, Fox served as the chief executive officer of the US Water Alliance, a non-partisan network that unites diverse stakeholders on common-ground solutions to the nation’s pressing environmental, water, and climate challenges. Her career in water began at the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission – a public agency that provides water, wastewater, stormwater and electric power services to over 2.6 million people in the San Francisco Bay Area.
