CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y., November 3, 2015 -- BioHiTech Global, Inc. (OTC: BHTG) (the "Company"), a provider of innovative food waste disposal solutions, announced today the appointment of Brian C. Essman as Chief Financial Officer.

Essman has over 20 years of financial management experience, starting as a CPA with PricewaterhouseCoopers as a senior manager, followed by a CFO role at a Fidelity Capital (the Private equity arm of Fidelity Investments) portfolio company. He has held various executive positions from 1997 through 2014 at several Havas (HAV.PA) operating companies, including most recently, the CEO of Data Communique, a leading software-as-a-service company providing component content management and multi-channel publishing to the investment management industry where he led the growth in cloud-based revenues, as well as developed the strategy to migrate and restructure the company from a manufacturing and distribution focus to its SaaS focus.

In Brian’s CFO roles, he has developed and had oversight of all financial, accounting, treasury, internal controls, reporting, regulatory and risk areas, as well as all areas of mergers and acquisitions.
