TIM LESKO
 Tim Lesko is the Co-Founder & President of Greenco Environmental, LLC.
Born in Pittsburgh and raised in Florida and Oklahoma City, Tim claims his triumphs in life are based on “an insatiable curiosity and endless drive for success.” Earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biochemistry at the University of Texas, Tim worked his way through college in sales, aka waiting tables and bartending, graduating 100% debt free.
Combining his entrepreneurial skills with his degree, Tim co-founded and was president of L2 Systems, developer of software for process improvements in clinical diagnostic laboratories, in Austin.
After marrying his college sweetheart, Melia, Tim was recruited by Sebia – a medical device and clinical diagnostic distribution company. He spent several years in sales and management positions with the French company as he was being groomed to become president of the company’s U.S. operations. In 2003, Tim became president of Sebia, Inc., managing the P&L of the $17M operation while developing and executing strategic and tactical initiatives to achieve sales, EBIT and market share growth objectives. He led the activities of 60 employees through six direct reports, including sales, marketing, technical support,service, finance and operations.
Using his hands-on management style experience from Sebia, Tim believes in getting to know a company from the ground up. Greenco Environmental offered a new challenge in an industry he wasn’t too familiar with,so Tim dove right in, bought a truck, became the driver, started hauling waste, completed the Compost Facility Training Workshop at the University of Georgia and is now putting his management and operational experience to use.
Tim and his wife and business partner, Melia, reside in Norcross, Georgia with their two young daughters.

Working alongside Tim and her brother-in-law Russ in management, Melia is thrilled to be heading up her own “green” company where she applies her entrepreneurial and organizational skills.
