Allergy Technologies Announces Addition of Dominique Sauvage

PHILADELPHIA — Allergy Technologies has hired Dominique Sauvage as senior vice president and a member of its senior management team. Sauvage is tasked with helping accelerate the national rollout of Allergy Technologies’ ATAHC program.

Sauvage has spent 40 years in the pest management field and has worked in 17 countries. His native Johannesburg, South Africa (where he started his career) is 8,026 miles from Allergy Technologies’ headquarters. He has worked for 27 years in South Africa and 13 in the U.S.

Until now, his career centered on defending food products and manufacturing facilities from pests, working for various large national pest control companies. He recently sought the “why” of his next chapter. “I thought for the remainder of my career, I would like to make a difference with people,” says Sauvage. “I soon focused on Allergy Technologies and the humane aspect of what they’re doing: giving people in affordable housing a life free from the physical, psychological, and emotional disruptions of bed bugs. And using empathy, care, and kindness to do so.” 

Foremost among his responsibilities, Sauvage will manage the PMP relationships that drive ATAHC’s on-site success. While educating PMPs about the purpose of ATAHC and the preventive focus of ActiveGuard in the program, he will codify their field procedures and certify them into the program.  Added duties range from implementing and monitoring the ATAHC Program in existing and new markets while providing a flawless QA/QC experience, a tentpole of his background. He will create the electronic data collection database, enabling the company to evaluate and constantly raise its performance level. Finally, he will pursue global opportunities and seek avenues into the hospitality sector, marrying pest control with the "guest experience."

Sauvage said he understands that the fusion of his roles is a key to the company’s expansion. “We know there is a sharp learning curve for new technicians, especially with a transformative program like ATAHC. We will best succeed through training, checks and balances and data feeds. We want to make this repeatable and scalable.”
