Beca appoints new Group CEO

New Zealand’s largest employee-owned consultancy, Beca, today announced the appointment of Keith Reynolds as its new Group CEO. Mr Reynolds will lead Beca’s global operations from the company’s headquarters in Auckland, starting on 1 September 2009.

Current Group CEO Richard Aitken said in welcoming the appointment, “With an outstanding track record in successfully developing engineering consultancies across Asia and Australia, Keith’s market and sector experience perfectly matched our vision, and will position us ideally for continued expansion in these areas.”
A civil engineer by training, Mr Reynolds has managed large engineering and design consultancies across the Pacific region during a career focused predominantly in the infrastructure sector. In his most recent role, Reynolds led the development of Hyder Australasia’s engineering and environmental businesses in roading, rail, water, resources and property sectors, and under his leadership the organisation tripled in size.

Mr Reynolds is due to take up the position in September, when Chairman Bob Durrant steps down and current Group CEO Richard Aitken moves into that role.
