What made you choose ĢƵ Allen?
ĢƵ Allen’s focus on the is what ultimately brought me here. The fact that our climate and infrastructure business includes work with top environmental, energy, and infrastructure agencies gives us a launch pad to think bigger and bolder. We’re front and center of this mission of national and global importance.
We can’t take a siloed approach to climate action. The firm’s pool of talented professionals across multiple disciplines allows us to take a “systems” view. I realized that I could bring that kind of lens, apply strategic and creative thinking, and lead teams in creating transformational solutions.
What sorts of projects does the firm’s climate and infrastructure business take on?
Along with the impacts of climate change to multiple sectors, we look at issues like natural resource constraints, cyber and other threats to critical infrastructure, advanced energy technology and efficiency needs, aging infrastructure management, and more.
