“Heather brings substantial communications experience, demonstrated business results and strong leadership skills to help advance AECOM’s vision to be the world’s premier, fully integrated infrastructure firm,” said Lynch.  “In particular, Heather’s experience in executing programs to support business transformation will be a valuable asset as we continue to build AECOM’s global brand and an aligned, collaborative and client-focused culture that sets the industry standard for professional and technical excellence.”

An active member of the Los Angeles community, Rim serves on the boards of the United Way of Greater Los Angeles and the Downtown Women’s Center.  She is also a member of prominent professional organizations for senior communications executives, including the Arthur Page Society, The Seminar and The Forum-Group.  Rim holds a master’s degree in communications management from the University of Southern California and a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Azusa Pacific University.
