Arctic Directory: CH2M HILL announces CEO transition

CH2M HILL announced that its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Lee McIntire will step down as CEO effective Jan. 1, 2014. McIntire, 64, will continue to serve as chairman of the board. The board has appointed Jacqueline Hinman, 52, to serve as CEO also effective Jan. 1, 2014. She most recently served as president, CH2M HILL International and is presently a member of the board of directors. McIntire has been CEO since Jan. 1, 2009.

“Lee’s leadership and vision has guided CH2M HILL from 15,000 employees with $3 billion in annual revenues when he joined the company to a firm with 28,000 employees and $7 billion of revenue today,” said Chad Holliday, lead outside director. “I think this growth to a truly global firm while preserving their core values is the greatest compliment to Lee’s capabilities.”

During McIntire’s tenure, the company has been recognized by Ethisphere as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies and repeatedly named to the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For list. “The Board is delighted that Lee will continue as Chairman and will focus on strategic business development and international strategies. The firm stands to benefit from Lee’s extensive industry knowledge and global experience,” continued Holliday.

Hinman joined the firm in 1988. She has held numerous management positions during her tenure and has been involved as a key executive in many of CH2M HILL’s highest profile projects, such as the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games construction program.
