“I am very excited that Shahid has elected to join the CDM Smith family,” says President and Chief Operating Officer Tony Bouchard. “His management style and broad experience will be of great benefit to our orga­ni­za­tion overall and to our Middle East operation specif­i­cally. His depth of Qatar client rela­tion­ships and infra­struc­ture expertise will be instru­men­tal in growing our Qatar operation.”

A self-described team player, Khan prioritizes building trusting rela­tion­ships with clients and strives to provide innovative, cost-effective solutions to meet their needs and serve their orga­ni­za­tion’s best interest. “The best parts of my day are when I’m collab­o­rat­ing with colleagues. Together, we can solve problems that are so much bigger than us because of each person’s unique way of thinking.”
