120Water bolsters leadership team – Water Finance & Management

120Water recently announced new additions to its leadership team, with Mitchell Hensley being promoted to senior vice president of product management and strategy, Josh Hawley joining as new director of water utility services and Dan Harris as director of partnerships.

120Water is a digital water quality management platform used by state agencies and water systems for regulatory compliance support, particularly in lead service line inventory and replacement. The platform is used by more than 7,000 utilities tracking more than 15 million service lines.

With a successful track record of scaling platforms at Amazon and Xylem, Hensley has built products used by millions worldwide. 120Water said his focus will be on the company’s SaaS roadmap, leading the next phase of innovation as the company expands beyond compliance support into a comprehensive water quality management platform.

“The water industry is ready for technology that not only helps utilities meet today’s compliance challenges but also prepares them for the future,” said Hensley. “We’ve got a huge opportunity to set a new standard for water quality management, simplifying how utilities meet requirements no matter how much they evolve over time.”

Hawley is a certified water operator and recipient of the Indiana Rural Water Operator of the Year award. 120Water said Hawley will focus on bringing his frontline utility perspective into the company’s platform and tools.

“As a water operator, I know firsthand how demanding and overwhelming compliance can be,” said Hawley. “At 120Water, I’m excited to help shape tools that don’t just check the compliance box but truly make life easier for the people keeping water systems running.”

As the new director of partnerships, 120Water said Harris will strategically expand the company’s partner programs and strengthen the ecosystem around its platform. Drawing on years of partnership strategy and ecosystem development experience at Xylem, Harris will focus on building strategic and technical alliances and integrations that accelerate progress across the industry.

“Aging infrastructure, regulatory compliance, funding gaps and workforce constraints continue to challenge utilities across the country,” said Harris. “Solving those problems will require collaboration. At 120Water, I’m eager to build partnerships that connect people, technology and ideas — and ultimately improve the way we manage water quality across the industry.”

“By adding leaders with deep water operator experience, proven product innovation and a strong record of building industry relationships, we’re expanding our capabilities and delivering even more tangible value,” added 120Water CEO Casey Myers.
