ESA Environmental Consultants has promoted Christine Lezette to director of client strategies and business development, touting her vital role in the firm’s success since her arrival in 2021.
The Middlesex-based practice said Lezette, previously its business development manager, has supported its team in part by drawing on her vast background in site remediation and client relations. In her new role, she’ll continue to work closely with its technical professionals to develop remediation strategies and provide tailored solutions that align with client goals.
“Christine’s expertise extends beyond the technical aspects of environmental site remediation, enabling her to strategically integrate remediation services as a vital component of broader redevelopment efforts,” said Christopher Martell, the firm’s CEO. “Her approach consistently delivers measurable value to ESA’s clients by enhancing their portfolios.”
With a bachelor’s in chemistry, Lezette began her career working on research projects with ExxonMobil, Princeton University and Hoffmann-LaRoche, ESA said in a news release. She then pivoted to environmental consulting in 2012, first in laboratory analysis and operations management, then specializing in brownfields remediation.
In her various roles, Lezette has directed projects regulated by the state Department of Environmental Protection and managed by licensed site remediation professionals, giving her the opportunity to work with developers and property owners. She then transitioned into jobs focusing on business development, ESA said, citing her passion for client relations.
Lezette joined ESA in June 2021 as its business development manager, seeking an opportunity where she could help clients beyond the scope of services offered at the firm.
“It wasn’t just about the services we offered on paper, but how I could help clients add value to their projects and properties,” she said. “I look forward to contributing to the continued growth and success of ESA over the years to come.”
