Natalie Neeve

Business Development Representative

For over two decades, Natalie has woven a tapestry of success from threads of customer service excellence and sales savvy. Her career is a testament to building trust, securing loyalty, and exceeding expectations.

Natalie is a master negotiator, a retention magician, and a champion of collaboration. Her time at Advanced Disposal wasn't just decorated with plaques (Employee of the Year 2012, Sales Rep of the Year 2018) – it was a testament to her ability to nurture major accounts and inspire teamwork.

But beyond the boardroom, Natalie's heart beats to the rhythm of family and adventure. When not crafting deals, she's carving snowy trails on her snowmobile or conquering open roads on her motorcycle. In summer, it's all about ATVs and adrenaline.
