30 August 2016 – AECOM, the global infrastructure services company, has hired John Priestland as Chief Executive, Major Bids and Corporate Development, Europe, Middle East, India and Africa (EMIA). Reporting to EMIA Chief Executive Steve Morriss, John will serve as a member of the EMIA Executive team and will focus on growing AECOM’s business across all markets in the region. He joined the company this week and will be based in London.
Steve Morriss, Chief Executive, Europe, Middle East, India and Africa, said: “We are ambitious to attract the best in the industry so that we can continue our exciting growth journey and keep improving our integrated offer to our clients. John has an exemplary and proven record of winning major bids and successful acquisitions and is a great addition to our team.”
