Arcadis Names Managers of Combined RTKL-Callison Design Unit
U.S.-based engineer AECOM has named Carlos Pone as CEO for its Africa-based business, effective in August, according to a report in UK industry publication Building. He was country managing director in the United Arab Emirates for ABB and also had been that firm's CEO for southern Africa. Pone will be based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Holland-based design consultant ARCADIS named Lance Josal as CEO of a corporate group that combines its RTKL and its Callison architecture practices. The latter was acquired last year. Josal was CEO of the RTKL unit, purchased in 2007. Randy Pace, formerly CFO of RTKL, will take that role and one as executive vice president in the combined unit, while Bryceon Sumner has been named its chief operating officer. Sumner had been CFO of Callison. ARCADIS says the unified unit has more than 2,000 employees and ranks among the top five global design firms.
