On September 16, the Board of Directors appointed Jacqueline Hinman CEO effective January 1, 2014. Jacque most recently served as President, CH2M HILL International and sits on the board. “This is truly a great honor,” she said. “CH2M HILL is a global family of people solving the world’s biggest challenges. We have such a strong foundation of achievements on which to build our future.”
Jacque joined the firm in 1988; some of you may remember her as Jacque Rast. She has held many management positions during her tenure and has been a key executive in many of our highest profile projects, including the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games construction program. She served as Chairman and CEO of Halcrow Companies after acquisition of the 6,000-person, British-based firm in 2011.
“The board and I have been engaged in succession planning for the past few years,” said Lee McIntire. “I think we all feel fortunate to have Jacque as our new leader and a deep pool of talent behind her. We are excited to see the next stage in CH2M HILL’s growth.” Lee has been CEO since January 1, 2009, and will continue to serve on the board.
