Hill International (NYSE:HIL) (Hill), the global leader in
managing construction risk, announced today the appointment of Drew
Jeter as President for the Americas Region, effective July 13. Mr.
Jeter succeeds Michael V. Griffin, P.E., who will be retiring after
a 39-year career with Hill. Mr. Jeter will oversee the operations
of Hill's Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Southern, Western,
and Latin America Regions, and report directly to Chief Executive
Officer Raouf Ghali.
Mr. Jeter brings to Hill more than 35 years of
experience leading the development and delivery of facilities and
infrastructure programs in public and private sectors around the
world. He has an extensive background in leading organizations and
teams of various types and sizes to successfully achieve results
through strong teamwork, continual process improvements, and
innovative solutions. His skills in leadership, project planning,
program management, construction management, contract management,
and engineering will be valuable assets as Hill continues to grow
its operations in the Americas.
Previously, Mr. Jeter held a 13-year tenure with
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., formerly CH2M Hill Companies, Ltd.
There, he served in a variety of roles, most recently as Vice
President of Program Management. Throughout his time with Jacobs
and CH2M, he provided oversight of the global program management
practice, including transportation, water, and built-environment
programs, delivering more than $300 billion in capital
infrastructure, program management business development, and career
management for Jacobs program managers. He also served as the
Operations Director of both the Water and Facilities & Urban
Environments Business Groups at CH2M.
Prior to joining CH2M, Drew served as a civil
engineering officer in the U.S. Air Force for 23 years, attaining
the rank of Colonel. He led a variety of military units and
operations involving civil engineering, contracting, security
forces, communications, consequence management, and emergency
services at military bases around the world.
Mr. Jeter holds a Master of Science in
Management from Troy University, a Master of Science in National
Security Strategy from the National Defense University, and a
Bachelor of Design in Architecture from the University of
Florida.
Mr. Griffin joined Hill in 1981 and since that
time has held roles of increasing responsibility, from project
manager to senior vice president and regional manager. A licensed
professional engineer in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and
Maryland, he has also supported specific projects in Florida,
Delaware, Connecticut, Puerto Rico, California, Illinois,
Massachusetts, and Indiana. In all of these locations, Mike has
managed or overseen the delivery of a wide variety of countless,
technically complex facilities and projects, especially building,
transportation, and heavy civil construction projects. In his work,
he has demonstrated a unique expertise and brought about much
success. His success has been rewarded with a variety of
appointments and awards from professional organizations such as the
Construction Management Association of America and the American
Society of Civil Engineers. In 2017, Mr. Griffin was appointed to
his most recent role at Hill as Regional President of the Americas.
In one of his last triumphs with the firm, Mr. Griffin served on
Hill’s COVID-19 Advisory & Action Committee, helping to
facilitate the maintenance of operations and keeping employees safe
through the ongoing, unprecedented pandemic.
“For the organizations with which he’s been
associated, for his clients, for his colleagues, for his company,
Mike Griffin has continuously demonstrated the best qualities of a
construction professional, a leader, and a person,” says Hill Chief
Executive Officer Raouf Ghali. “We wish him the best in his
retirement.”
“We are also thrilled to welcome such a
profoundly experienced leader to our firm in Drew Jeter,” Mr. Ghali
continues. “We are confident that the operational growth and
success in the Americas region, which Mr. Griffin helped to bring
about, will continue under Mr. Jeter’s direction.”
