ecoSPEARS Leadership

Sergie (Serg) Albino

CEO and Co-Founder

Serg is an Aerospace Engineer on a mission to protect people and the planet through impact ventures. His inspiration to create ecoSPEARS began when he worked at the Kennedy Space Center designing hardware payload modules for the Lunar Rover and International Space Station programs.

While working on the Lunar Rover project, Serg was introduced to Drs. Jacqueline Quinn, Robert DeVor, and Phillip Maloney – the co-inventors of the SPEARS technology. Serg immediately recognized the potential global impact of this breakthrough technology in environmental cleanup and set off to bring it out from the NASA lab to the world.

Serg continues on his mission to eliminate “forever chemicals” around the world, with his eye on today’s issues as well as the future, thinking of his three children.
