With nearly 40 years of industry experience, Mr. Werner has been
named President of Major Pursuits, in which he will focus on
leveraging the full breadth of AECOM’s design, build, finance and
operate capabilities on large, complex bids. Mr. Morriss,

Chief Executive of EMIA.
“As we continue to position our business to best capitalize on
tremendous market opportunities, I am pleased to announce the
promotions of excellent leaders who have proven to bring a passion
for executing our design, build, finance and operate strategy,”

officer. “At AECOM, we are fortunate to have assembled some of the
best employees in our industry, and we remain committed to
fostering a culture that provides opportunities for our
professionals to grow their careers within our company. I look

respective roles across our enterprise.”
In his long-tenured career, Mr. Werner has amassed an impressive
list of accomplishments across the civil infrastructure landscape.
His understanding of AECOM’s diverse, global business and offerings
will help advance the Company’s efforts in matching its unrivaled
integrated solutions with prospective clients’ increasingly complex
