Getting Our Lives Back

What CEOs Talk About

In 1992, Nigel Bennett co-founded Aqua-Guard Spill Response Inc. The business’s mission: protect water, the world’s most precious resource. For over twenty years, the company has designed, fabricated and supplied marine oil spill response equipment and provided related services to 3,000+ clients worldwide. Aqua-Guard’s patented oil skimming technology has been used to clean up spills from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico and from Egypt to China. Nigel and Aqua-Guard have received multiple awards for their innovation, business excellence and entrepreneurialism.

Whether he’s talking with business leaders, not-for-profit groups or a student audience, Nigel is committed to positive change. An active philanthropist, Nigel donates all profit from his book sales and speaking engagements to organizations that support poverty alleviation, human rights, social services and the environment.

In this episode…. Nigel Bennett has been an active member of MIT’s Gathering of Titans for over 10 years and of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization for 15. He values travel, learning and the privilege of having a platform to leverage to do good in the world. He has dedicated much of his life to philanthropy and positive impact. As such he also has learned how to have balance, or what he calls “life rhythm” and freedom.

Nigel and his wife Rieko have travelled the world with their daughter and two sons to develop themselves as global citizens. The entire Bennett family supports the efforts of the Pachamama Alliance to inspire people to bring forth a “thriving, just, and sustainable world.”
