He joined HDR in 2021 as senior vice-president (SVP) and chief administrative officer (CAO) and was promoted in 2022 to president and COO.
“It is an honour to build on the legacy of HDR,” he says. “Our broad-based employee ownership structure is the foundation of our competitive advantage. Together, we will find solutions to our communities’ greatest challenges.”
