Team

Our leaders have built companies from the ground up, operated the largest EA firms in the world, and led the United States Army Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency. We’re also running a real-world testing ground at WGI, where we have over 600 professionals turning our clients’ visions into reality.

Our significant and forward-thinking investments in national thought leaders and tools supporting their work across the spectrum — from placemaking and new mobility to heavy infrastructure — are part of a strategic corporate plan for continued growth and success.
