Executive Overview

Growing up on Bechtel projects across the globe, I saw firsthand why my father loved to say, “give Bechtel people a challenge, and they’ll make history.” Today, I’m proud to lead this company as we help customers solve for tomorrow’s infrastructure, energy, security, and resource needs. My favorite days as CEO are spent walking job sites with our people. LinkedIn gives me the chance to share a glimpse of what Bechtel’s incredible people do and the positive impact they have. I’ll also occasionally use this space to write about innovation, diversity, and other ways I believe we can do our part to design and build a cleaner, safer, more sustainable, and more prosperous future for everyone. My other goal is to use LinkedIn to listen. Even with the help of a few colleagues, I won’t have time to respond to nearly as many of your comments as I would like. I’ll read as much as I can and do my best to chime in when I have something to add. #WeAreBechtel
