Going back to 1992, it is a tradition at Holtec to elect one “Holtec Fellow” at the end of each year. The honorees are announced at the Company’s New Jersey operation center annual holiday party.
The Holtec Fellow award is given to an associate who personifies the five virtues that we value the most in our employees, namely professional competence, accountability, teamwork spirit, sense of diligence and drive for excellence. For 2019, there were two winners: Venkat Prabhala and Nick Caggiano.
Venkat Prabhala is an engineering manager of the Applied Mechanics group under Director Chuck Bullard. His commitment to professional excellence is legendary; rumor has it that he runs dynamic impact models to study material behavior in lieu of video games for recreation. As a frequent runner up, Venkat has been a dedicated associate of Holtec for over 16 years.
Nick Caggiano is a member of the Plant Technical Service group under Director Fred Bidrawn. He has single handedly created a niche of excellence in site safety analysis packages for nuclear plants. Widely admired by Holtec’s Clients, his work is memorialized in the safety literature at dozens of nuclear plants. Nick has been a dedicated associate of Holtec for over five years.
Holtec salutes a hearty congratulations to Venkat and Nick.
