Jason Mendenhall is a transformative leader at the intersection of technology and sustainability, currently serving as CEO of EcoVAP Inc., an award-winning provider of advanced wastewater evaporation solutions. With over two decades of executive leadership spanning digital infrastructure, data innovation, and cleantech, Jason brings a unique systems-level perspective to environmental problem-solving. Before EcoVAP, Jason held senior leadership roles at Switch, where he was Executive Vice President of Cloud and Managed Services. There, he was instrumental in building the world’s largest data center ecosystems and advancing energy-efficient, sustainable digital operations. At EcoVAP, Jason is spearheading the commercial rollout of the Evaporative Matrix™—a breakthrough biomimetic technology that replicates and amplifies nature’s evaporation processes. This system allows mining and energy companies to achieve zero-liquid discharge goals while minimizing the need for evaporation ponds, power, or chemicals. EcoVAP’s solution is redefining sustainable water management, providing low energy, land-efficient, and cost-effective alternative to legacy industrial methods. Jason’s work exemplifies the future of industrial sustainability: innovation that is not only cleaner, but smarter, scalable, and economically viable. His insights into how the mining sector can adopt such solutions to meet environmental, regulatory, and operational goals make him a high-impact speaker for the AIMEX Mining Tradeshow’s sustainability panel. “True sustainability doesn’t just reduce harm—it redefines what’s possible. EcoVAP is doing just that.” — Jason Mendenhall
