We’re the Nexa team- a group of technology innovators at the forefront of a brand-new industry. Think of us as a fast-moving startup, but one that’s housed within and backed by a stable organization that’s led water products manufacturing for 150 years.
What we do is bold, transformational, and essential for the world- and we do it collaboratively and without hierarchy getting in the way. We believe in thinking out loud and in learning continuously, and that the best solutions come from diverse perspectives and open dialogue. We’re a scrappy bunch- everyone here is a doer and has a tangible impact on what we make.
The plumbing and facilities management industries are changing quickly– what we take for granted today will look radically different in just a couple years. Fewer plumbers, increasingly inexperienced facilities managers, accelerated adoption of technology, scarcity of water resources… all point in the same direction: this space is ripe for a revolution.
The Nexa team is on a relentless mission to unlock this revolution, ensuring that plumbers, facilities managers, and building owners and operators are empowered to thrive in this rapidly changing world. Nexa was born and incubated within Watts Water Technologies, a company with 150 years of legacy in the water space that is present across the entire value chain of water in buildings. The Nexa ecosystem is the result of combining Watts’ deep experience in this space with the entrepreneurial spirit of a driven team of enthusiastic technologists.
Our belief is that Nexa will have long-lasting impact that propels the world of commercial water systems into new heights: protecting invaluable assets, managing water systems with unprecedented efficiency, and saving precious water resources. The Intelligent Water Management revolution is here. Will you join us?

This NexusCon 2025 session features Conor Cleary of Tefiki tackling one of the hardest problems in smart buildings: how to drive real energy and comfort improvements in the 87% of buildings that lack modern controls.
NexusCon 2025’s “Kickstarting Energy Savings” session goes straight after the problem the Untapped 87% white paper laid out: small-to-mid-size buildings are most of the building stock, and most still don’t have real controls or monitoring.
This NexusCon 2025 panel, moderated by Rachel Kennedy (Solutions Engineer, KODE Labs), brings together April Yi (Director, Digital Engineering, Microsoft), Niharika Kishore (Sr. Sustainability Specialist, Amazon), and Thomas Grant (Global Manager of Energy and DTV Energy, Wendy’s) to unpack what “AI for energy management” actually means in practice.
At NexusCon 2025, April Yi, Director of Digital Engineering at Microsoft, walked through how her team is using machine learning to dynamically control HVAC start and stop times across roughly 50 buildings.
