Jesse Federman: Environmental Manager
Qualifications: BS in Environmental Studies (2003), MS in Pollution Control (2005).
Joined Acme: 2006
Experience before Acme: One year as Assistant Environmental Manager at an Amoco petrochemicals plant.
Jesse is fairly new to Acme, and he is eager to make a good impression. He is enthusiastic about his work, and he believes passionately in the need for pollution prevention. He has argued strongly since he came that the company needs to modernize its approach, by adopting initiatives such as ISO 14000, and it now seems that his voice is now being heard. But Jesse is diplomatic, and astute enough not to "rock the boat" by asking for too much too quickly.
Jesse is a hard worker, though he doesn't like visiting the smelly corners of the plant, as he does worry about what toxic fumes may be present. This undermines his reputation among the plant workers, who tend to perceive him as one of the "office guys", but they do value his advocacy on their behalf for improvements to their working environment. He also earned a lot of respect after his success in persuading management to build an enclosure for the BCC process, which had been a regular source of smelly fumes in the north end of the plant. Jesse is well liked among the administrative staff, but the lab manager resents his intrusions, and the two have clashed over enforcement of EPA rules in the laboratory.
