LanzaTech NZ, Inc. ("LanzaTech") is growing globally, with teams in
the United States, Asia, Oceania, and Europe. Chad Thompson
recently joined LanzaTech as Head of People to lead the company's
strategic vision of investing in and supporting its employees.
LanzaTech is committed to fostering a diverse,
equitable, and inclusive workplace where people of all cultures and
backgrounds can succeed. As the Head of People for LanzaTech,
Thompson is responsible for developing and executing LanzaTech's
global human resource strategy that aligns with its vision of
scaling its technology internationally.
Thompson joins LanzaTech from Chevron North
America, where he recently worked as the Vice President of Human
Resources (HR). Thompson has 24 years of experience in HR with
Chevron, leading increasingly complex HR organizations in Latin
America, Asia Pacific, Africa, Europe, and North America. He has
worked in the Upstream, Downstream, and Corporate HR
departments.
Before joining Chevron, Thompson worked in the
power generation, software engineering, and business process
outsourcing industries. His background includes in-depth experience
in all areas of HR across a company's life cycle: rapid growth,
consolidation, maturity, decline, and divestment. He has experience
conducting business in Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and
Middle Eastern cultures.
"We have an incredible global team from many
backgrounds who define our company and are dedicated to ensuring a
better future," said LanzaTech CEO Dr. Jennifer Holmgren. "As we
accelerate our global growth, Chad's leadership is critical as we
continue to build, inspire and motivate our team to implement
large-scale local and global change."
LanzaTech, an innovative Carbon Capture, and
Transformation ("CCT") company, recognizes and celebrates
individual contributions to create a post-pollution future where
waste carbon is the building block of everything.
LanzaTech has grown 43 percent in the past year
with over 350 full-time employees. The company is woman-led, with
diversity, equity, and inclusion at the core of its business
strategy to make it a more robust and innovative company that
reflects its global identity.
“I am extremely excited to be joining LanzaTech
at this stage of the company’s growth,” said Thompson. “LanzaTech’s
vision to create a post pollution future was a compelling
proposition that I want to be a part of and help Lanzatech to
become one of the most admired companies for our innovation,
culture and performance.”
"As a global leader in HR, Chad brings a depth
of experience to manage our team of employees," Holmgren said.
"Chad has proven the ability to work effectively across borders,
languages, and cultures, and has the knowledge to help us navigate
local work norms and compliance issues globally. LanzaTech is
committed to helping our employees gain the skills and knowledge
they need to advance in the company and fulfill their professional
aspirations. We are excited to have Chad on board to help lead our
strategic growth."
About LanzaTech LanzaTech
harnesses the power of biology and big data to create climate-safe
materials and fuels. With expertise in synthetic biology,
bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning
coupled with engineering, LanzaTech has created a platform that
converts waste carbon into new everyday products that would
otherwise come from virgin fossil resources. LanzaTech’s first two
commercial scale gas fermentation plants have produced over 50
million gallons of ethanol, which is the equivalent of offsetting
the release of 200,000 metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Additional plants are under construction globally. LanzaTech is
based in Illinois, USA.
As previously announced, LanzaTech has entered
into a merger agreement for a business combination transaction with
AMCI Acquisition Corp. II (Nasdaq: AMCI). Upon closing, the
combined company is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker
symbol “LNZA”.
