Dominique sauvage

Senior Vice President

Dominique Sauage joined Allergy Technologies in 2023 as Senior Vice President and a member of its senior management team, focusing on ATAHC and bed bug elimination.

A native of Johannesburg, South Africa, Sauvage has spent 40 years in the pest management field and has worked in 17 countries. There was a distinct reason he was drawn to Allergy Technologies. “I thought for the remainder of my career, I would like to make a difference with people,” Sauvage said of his role. “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.”

Among his responsibilities, Sauvage will manage the pest management professional (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.” 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,” Sauvage adds. “We will best succeed through training, checks and balances, and data feeds. We want to make this repeatable and scalable.”

He also emphasizes “resident relations” and the Company’s ability to succeed on their behalf. His quality assurance and control background is driven by their satisfaction, and he takes a hands-on role in visiting housing communities and speaking with residents. This allows him to hear thoughts face-to-face, both building trust and understanding concerns.

Sauvage resides in Hatboro, Pa., with his wife, Mary-Ann.
