Aecom has established the new global advisory board with the intention of supporting the company’s efforts to enter and grow in new geographic areas, business lines and high-growth service areas. Other members of the board include former prime minister of Singapore Goh Chok Tong, chairman of India-based Housing Development Finance Corporation Deepak Parekh and president of Vienna-based DT-Global Business Consulting Dr Daniel Thorniley.
“I am pleased to announce the formation of the Aecom Global Advisory Board,” said John M. Dionisio, Aecom chairman and chief executive officer. “The global insight and marketplace visibility of our advisory board members, led by Sir John Major, will provide a valuable business perspective as we advance Aecom’s diversified global growth strategy. In addition, our advisory board members offer expert knowledge for issues at the intersection of global business operations and society at large, including humanitarian affairs, socially responsible business practices and sustainability.”
He said that the advisory board will be especially valuable in offering guidance as Aecom increases its participation in geographic areas of focus such as Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, India and Latin America as well as high-growth businesses such as oil and gas, energy, mining, and national security.
"I am delighted to chair such a distinguished advisory board of members prepared to offer their experience and expertise in support of one of the world’s most ethical companies,” said Sir John.
