As part of the company’s growth strategy, Blount will guide CASPR Group as it manages increased demand for its proprietary Natural Catalytic Conversion (NCC™) technology for healthy indoor air and surfaces across industries including healthcare, education, transportation, and commercial real estate.

 “The exponential interest in clean air and surface technology is exciting, and we knew the surge in demand for CASPR’s products will require a set of leadership skills to manage and maintain that growth. Derek not only understands the need for our company to provide our customers with superlative technology and exceptional customer service, he also brings that kind of experience to the table,” said CASPR Group’s Executive Chairwoman Gail Warrior. “I have seen firsthand how Derek navigates challenges in this arena, and our board of directors is excited to have him manage CASPR’s trajectory as the leading environmental health technology company.”

“The recent pandemic drove home the importance of healthy indoor air and surfaces to keep people safe. While we all hope for an eventual emergence from these conditions, the paradigm has shifted. Installing technology to help protect against viruses, bacteria and allergens will become a standard from Fortune 500 companies to your local elementary school. CASPR technology is revolutionary and utterly unique in its safety and efficacy,” said Blount. “The unparalleled passion of this team for delivering healthy indoor environments, improving — and even saving — lives is incredibly energizing, and I’m both honored and excited to lead this amazing group.”
