Leadership
Entrepreneurial spirits. Engineering minds.
John Palazzo
President and Chief Executive Officer
Prior to founding Frontline International, John Palazzo spent 16 years in engineering and leadership positions at global manufacturing leaders in the defense, medical, and consumer goods sectors. From 1991-1999, he consulted for and was later hired into management at a biofuels feeder company where he was introduced to the concept of cooking oil collections. Prior to this, used cooking oil was an unwanted byproduct restaurateurs paid to have removed from their premises. John was driven to expand the infrastructure for commercial kitchens’ cooking oil to make this integral ingredient cleaner, safer, and more profitable for operators.
