View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
Built on a strong engineering design platform, AECOM provides a range of services that span the planning, design, building, operations and maintenance aspects of projects. In short, we work with clients to deliver solutions to some of society's most complex infrastructure challenges. Throughout a career spanning more than 25 years, I’ve had experience in the planning, assessment and development of major transport infrastructure, and worked across both public and private sectors to manage major projects from initial business case development and feasibility through to operations. As a long-time member of the AECOM team (since 1994), I’ve had a number of roles, including Chief Executive of our Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) business and our Australia - New Zealand business.
