Boyer will join Atkins from Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. in Austin, Texas, where he has held the position of president of its Federal division.

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.”

He is married to wife Heather, and has two children, Kyle (12) and Jamison (10). They have enjoyed living in many states in U.S., with previous assignments in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.
Atkins thanks Major General L. Dean Fox, USAF (Ret.), retiring North American CEO, for his dedication and service to the company over the past few years and wishes him happiness and success in the future.
