When I got an opportunity to join a company at the heart of that transformation, I jumped at the chance.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been fascinating to learn the extent of AECOM\u2019s work, not just in LA but around the world. Our employees often say we\u2019re the most amazing company no one has heard of. A global network of professionals coming together to help solve clients\u2019 toughest challenges: delivering clean water and energy, creating new transportation systems, restoring natural environments, strengthening communities, shaping skylines.<\/p>\n<p>In a way, we\u2019ve found ourselves in the position of our brand needing to catch up to our business reality.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s never been a more exciting time to be in the infrastructure space. The need is tremendous. Urbanization is affecting entire regions. Cities are transforming. New technologies are creating opportunity. In the face of climate change and uncertainty there\u2019s crucial need for resilience and security.<\/p>\n<p>AECOM is in a unique position to address many of the world\u2019s most pressing issues. We\u2019re only limited by the magnitude of our clients\u2019 dreams and aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>We have an incredible story, and now it\u2019s time for the world to hear it.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve partnered with Oscar-nominated director John Singleton to produce AECOM\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/aecom.com\/connectedla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first television commercial<\/a>. It tells the story of a young surfer from South LA who embarks on an early morning journey via the LA Metro\u2019s Expo Line to reach Santa Monica beach by sunrise. It\u2019s an honor to have a distinguished Angeleno, who\u2019s been telling the story of this city his entire career, take interest in the work we\u2019re doing with the LA Metro expansion.<\/p>\n<p>AECOM brings the best minds together to spark better ideas, connect neighborhoods and create opportunity. This innovative spirit is captured in the commercial and in our new tagline, <a href=\"https:\/\/aecom.com\/imagine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Imagine it. Delivered<\/em><\/a>. Both a call to action and a promise to our clients,\u00a0the tagline\u00a0says, bring us your impossible and we&#8217;re here to make it a reality.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who\u2019s had the privilege to become part of this team, I couldn\u2019t be more proud to share the AECOM story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a native Angeleno, I\u2019ve had the pleasure of watching Los Angeles transform over my lifetime.
