ABOUT SIDIQ YOUNG
I operate where analytics and leadership intersect, in the space where data tells the truth and people are motivated to deliver results. What drives me most is turning complexity into transparency, creating systems that work, and helping teams see what’s possible when accountability, safety, and culture move together in lockstep.Having spent my career leading large, multi-site operations through growth, transformation, and modernization, I’m calm in crisis, methodical under pressure, and drawn to challenges that require both strategy and empathy. Whether building a $52M facility from the ground up or embedding AI into operations, I focus on structure, measurable outcomes, and long-term stability:At Republic Services, I’ve led one of the company’s largest business units through a period of intense change, raising revenue 11.7%, improving safety performance, and lifting engagement across more than 100 employees. When the third leg of our operation needed revitalization, I took full ownership of a $52M capital project to rebuild our recycling facility, introducing AI-driven processes that generated over $1M in new revenue and positioned the division as a model for operational innovation.Leadership that delivers starts with visibility and ends with accountability. I believe in being on the ground, not just in the boardroom listening, measuring, and course-correcting in real time. That’s how we achieved four consecutive years of safety without major injuries, grew long-term municipal partnerships across Arizona, and earned repeated Top Shop and Triple Crown awards for safety, efficiency, and financial performance:Strategic Operations | P&L Management | Continuous Improvement | Lean | Safety & Compliance | Capital Planning | Contract Negotiation | Multi-Site Leadership | Data Analytics | Workforce Planning | Fleet & Logistics | Customer Experience | Stakeholder Relations
