Riley <strong>Bechtel</strong> will now serve as a non-executive<br />
director.<br />
“There was no greater professional honor<br />
for me than to have led thousands of my<br />
dedicated colleagues as we worked together<br />
to build the best and safest projects in the<br />
world,” Riley <strong>Bechtel</strong> said. “I share with my<br />
fellow directors the utmost confidence in<br />
Brendan’s ability to lead <strong>Bechtel</strong> in its next<br />
chapter as we build the best projects for the<br />
world.”<br />
During his tenure as CEO, Brendan has<br />
spearheaded an initiative to be leaner and<br />
more competitive and implemented a strategy<br />
to infuse innovation into every aspect of<br />
delivering projects. Under his leadership, the<br />
company received its 18th consecutive honor<br />
as the top-ranked contractor by Engineering<br />
News-Record, (ENR) and earned a series<br />
of industry honors including <strong>Construction</strong><br />
Project of the Year Award by S&P Global Platts<br />
and ENR’s Global Best Project Award in the<br />
power/industrial category for its Curtis Island<br />
Liquefied Natural Gas program in Australia, in<br />
which Brendan played a leadership role.<br />
Earlier this month, Brendan launched<br />
<strong>Bechtel</strong>’s sustainability goals, which serve<br />
as a benchmark for the entire construction<br />
industry to follow. <strong>Bechtel</strong> also served as a key<br />
delivery partner for the film Dream Big, aimed<br />
at inspiring students to pursue STEM-related<br />
careers.<br />
Before being elected CEO, Brendan held<br />
positions as president and chief operating<br />
officer, improving delivery throughout the<br />
company’s business lines and underscoring<br />
the importance of performing as promised and<br />
consistently delivering value for customers.<br />
Brendan has a bachelor of arts degree<br />
from Middlebury College and earned dual<br />
master’s degrees from Stanford University<br />
in business and construction engineering<br />
and management. He is a member of the<br />
Business Roundtable, the American Society<br />
of Corporate Executives, and serves on the<br />
board of trustees for the National Geographic<br />
Society.<br />
