BACKGROUND: Nicholas Nigro’s environmental career spans over 30 years, with the first half of his career spent working as an Environmental Engineer with one of the country’s largest consulting/engineering firms. During that first chapter of his career, Nigro supported and managed over 200 environmental site investigations, ultimately acting as the company’s Program Director for its Environmental Insurance Cost Recovery practice. In 2005, Nigro entered the laboratory services market sector as President of the country’s largest mobile laboratory operation (ECCS, purchased by Pace® in 2015). In late 2019, Nigro was tasked with leading the Pace PFAS service offering where, at that time, Pace® operated four laboratories with PFAS testing capabilities. Since that time, PFAS service offerings at Pace® have doubled in number of labs and more than quadrupled in capacity and revenue.
