Leadership

Tony's favorite quote is "there is no limit to what a person can do or where they can go, if they don't mind who gets the credit." Whether it is working on the largest wastewater treatment plant in the world – and the largest in Antarctica – or relocating his family to a new city and finding a pick-up hockey team, he believes the "no-limit" approach. It is all about the team. "As President and COO, it's my mission to make decisions aligned with our vision, and to connect and empower our staff to deliver on our four differe­n­tia­tors of providing legendary client experiences, unmatched employee experiences, to innovate and differentiate, and to remain private." Tony's equally passionate about the importance of mentoring. He gives this advice to an upcoming engineer: "While it's important to be an expert in your field, always maintain a broad perspective and get as much exposure to other areas as you can. Don't limit yourself."

Julia's passion for marketing and communications began when she realized the power of words. When she realized the impact, reach and connections that a brand can achieve by knowing who they are and how to capture what they value. This passion compelled her to change from an engineering major and join the world of marketing and communications. Now, as Chief Marketing Officer, she has the opportunity to cultivate the CDM Smith brand - which she holds close and believes is uniquely special. "In the fast-pace world we live in today and the multiple channels available to connect with each other, our clients and potential clients, there is a short window to tell our story and make it resonate. That's why my job is both challenging and rewarding. I love sharing the CDM Smith story whenever I have the opportunity to attend conferences, client meetings or visiting our offices."
