Prof. Dr. Uwe Krueger, Atkins’ CEO, commented, “Mr. Boyer is a civil engineer by profession who has worked on some of the United States’ largest and most important infrastructure projects. He has a proven track record of leading organizations to growth and delivering high performance, which is why we have invited him to lead our North American region.”
