Dr. Mallett began as Director for the Ontario Centre for Environmental Technology Advancement (OCETA) in 1993 when OCETA was still in the conceptional stage.  He was one of the key members to develop the proposals and documents necessary to obtain approval and support from the federal and provincial governments.

The majority of Ed’s career was spent working for ICI Canada where he held senior management positions in Research, Corporate Planning, Business Development, and Production.  Also, as group President of Specialty Chemicals, Ed was directly responsible for several businesses including Chemical Distribution, Waster Treatment Chemicals, Oilfield Services, and served as a Director of Tricil Waste Management during its period of most rapid growth.

After leaving ICI, Ed acted as a consultant for Canadian Venture Founders, a new venture fund centralized on start-up and early stage technologies organizations, and was President of Turbotak Technologies Inc.

Born in Barrow-in-Furness, England, Ed’s educational background consists of a BSc Honours and a PhD in Chemistry obtained at Manchester University in England.
