Veteran Strategist and IR Expert to Lead Capital Markets Communication Program
DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 374Water Inc. (NASDAQ: SCWO) (“374Water”), a global leader in organic waste destruction technology and services for the municipal, federal, and industrial markets, today announced the appointment Jim Siccardi as its new Senior Vice President of Investor Relations.
Jim Siccardi is a seasoned strategist and Investor Relations expert with over 20 years of experience in driving shareholder value, strategic growth and market expansion within the energy, natural resource and industrial sectors. His proactive approach has proven to help develop and strengthen relationships with investors, company boards and management teams. Prior to joining 374Water, Mr. Siccardi was Vice President of Investor Relations at NASDAQ-listed Energy Recovery, a trusted global leader in energy efficiency technology, leading investor relations during a transformative period, quadrupling the company’s market value while increasing the geographic breadth and quality of the company’s shareholder base. He also served as Director of Investor Relations at NYSE-listed Occidental Petroleum. Previously he held sell-side analyst roles at Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse, was a Portfolio Manager and Global Head of Energy at HSBC Asset Management, and Hedge Fund Manager at PAW Partners. Siccardi holds a BA, Finance and Accounting from Villanova University and an MBA in Finance and Investments, from University of Notre Dame – Mendoza College of Business.
“We welcome Jim as our Senior Vice President of Investor Relations and are honored to have someone of his caliber and strategic financial skills lead our investor relations,” said Chris Gannon, CEO of 374Water. “Having served on the sell-side, buy-side, and corporate side, Jim brings a unique and strategic perspective to Investor Relations and meaningful edge in identifying and connecting with these types of investors. I have had the pleasure of seeing Jim work firsthand while at Energy Recovery, where he helped transform their Investor Relations department, develop strong relationships with new and existing investors, and proactively target an investor audience for whom the stock made sense.
“In this new role, Jim will help to bridge the gap between shareholders and management at this critical point in our company’s history, highlighting our strategy and ensuring all stakeholders are working towards bringing success to the 374 Water story. I look forward to working with Jim again and believe that with the strong fundamental story of 374Water, the growing need for our AirSCWO products and technology, and Jim’s ability to relate with investors, we are poised to generate additional interest from within the investment community,” concluded Gannon.
Mr. Siccardi added, “I am excited by the opportunity afforded me by Chris and the entire 374Water team. Rarely does one come across a company with such momentum that there is potential demand for every piece of equipment it can produce. The regulatory environment, including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s recent announcements and upcoming agency action to address Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), adds a tailwind we believe will accelerate demand. 374Water has the potential to significantly improve the quality of waste treatments by destroying the toxins within it, and I look forward to delivering this message to investors who are seeking just such an investment opportunity.”
