Encina Development Group has added H+ co-founder Elaine Wong to its board of directors.

In making the announcement, The Woodlands, Texas-based company that produces circular chemicals from waste plastics touted Wong as an expert in the area of private equity.

“We are delighted to welcome Elaine to the Encina board,” said David Schwedel, executive director. “Her deep experience in strategy formulation, implementation and business development will be invaluable to Encina’s next phase of business growth.”

Wong, who remains a partner at H+, looks forward to her new undertaking on a number of different fronts.   

“I’m excited to join Encina’s board,” she told Businesswire. “Encina’s unique waste-plastics-to-circular-chemical technology helps customers advance their sustainability goals and practices. I’m proud to help Encina grow its circular solution while doing good for the environment and the planet.”

In all, Wong brings more than 20-years of private equity experience to the table, including having also co-founded HAO Capital, a China-focused growth equity fund. She is also credited with having a hand in taking companies public in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Frankfurt, London and New York.
