Evan
Pilkington
Director, WaterNEXT
Throughout my working career I've been focused on developing initiatives and relationships that
mitigate water risk, encourage adoption of innovative technologies, and promote long-term economic
growth for public and private sector entities across the globe.
I have a proven track record of successfully building meaningful partnerships, managing stakeholder
engagement, and measuring impact in such locations as the United Kingdom, France, India, East Africa,
the Philippines, and throughout North America.
Highlights include working for Dr. Jane Goodall to assist with a rural capacity-building initiative while
living in Tanzania, delivering the UK's first large-scale residential water efficiency retrofit campaign,
assisting hundreds of innovative cleantech companies with the Province of Ontario and Carleton
University, launching blueW.org to promote municipal tap water and measurably reduce single-use
plastic waste, and supporting a team of highly specialized researchers to build vital private sector
partnerships for the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre.
