Bernadette Sarouli

Chief Executive Officer

Bernadette eats, breathes, and sleeps cooking oil. An enthusiastic oil connoisseur, Bernadette understands the nuances, overtones, undertones, and flavor profiles of cooking oil to a near maniacal extreme.

Having imported and distributed cooking oil in the food service industry for twenty years, nearly halfway through her career, Bernadette had a profound realization. She discovered all cooking oil packaging materials were destined for a tragic landfill fate.

Bernadette had a new obsession, eliminating one-time-use packaging from food service. This obsession spawned the brainchild that would mature into Eco Refill Systems. Providing sustainable, fresh, quality cooking oil and educating food service professionals on green alternatives became her passion and the mission of Eco Refill Systems.

As a food service trailblazer, Bernadette is leading the fight for sustainability in one of this foodie’s favorite places, the kitchen. In fact, when she's not bringing awareness to the need for green alternatives you may find her swiping tomatoes from David’s garden… but she's usually working to save the world.

Lane Landry

Chief Operations Officer

Lane has built a stellar career and esteemed reputation in an oil refinery, an industry regulated by the highest OSHA and emissions standards in the state of California.

Employed as an Exxon Operations Technician since 1989 and a Valero Refinery Maintenance Specialist since 2011, Lane has sculpted his natural attention to detail to oversee mechanical and occasional personnel operations at Eco Refill Systems. Lane focuses on achieving, maintaining, and surpassing our primary goals including critical care points (CCP), food safety handling, and analysis of human-machine interactions.

When he's not painstakingly scrutinizing every technical aspect of our company, he enjoys painstakingly scrutinizing every part of his motorcycle or car often taking apart each piece just to clean and inspect it. When that's not enough it's time to clean the entire vehicle inside and out. Talk about a guy in the right line of work. We're thrilled Lane shares his critical insight to help us constantly improve our service.

David Harczak

Chief Financial Officer

Originally from Arizona, David brings a wealth of experience to our team. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of San Francisco and spent over 30 years as a Senior Tech Director at AT&T, where he was known for his exceptional results and friendly personality.

After retiring in 2011, driven by his passion for sustainable business practices, David became a serial entrepreneur in real estate, construction, and hard-money lending. In his free time, he tends to his backyard tomato garden, which in our humble opinion, produces the best tomatoes around.

A true carpenter at heart, David also helps us lay a solid foundation for our business, ensuring we prioritize sustainability and green alternatives in our operations.
