AECOM of Los Angeles, CA announced on February 4 that Karl Jensen has joined the company as executive vice president of the National Governments practice in the Americas. A major contractor to the United States and Canadian governments, AECOM partners with federal agencies to deliver innovative solutions for mission success.
“Karl is joining our National Governments business at an exciting time,”
said Steve Morriss, AECOM’s president of Design and Consulting Services
Americas. “As we continue to execute a series of strategic actions to focus our
business on our core professional services capabilities, including through this
week’s completed sale of the Management Services division, our thriving federal
business will continue to be a driver of growth for the firm. Karl’s depth and
breadth of experience in this industry makes him a great fit to lead our
federal business into the future.”
Jensen joins AECOM in the Washington, DC metro area from Swiss-based
RUAG—which develops civilian and military technology applications for use in
space, in the air and on land—where he led the company’s expansion into the
U.S. Previously, he led growth initiatives for CH2M’s National Governments
business and the sales integration for the Jacobs/CH2M merger. He has also held
senior executive roles in the federal market sector at prominent defense
companies such as Raytheon, SAIC and CACI. Jensen brings extensive experience
in business operations, business development and strategy.
“I’m thrilled to join this industry-leading team at such a pivotal
juncture when there is a renewed focus on AECOM’s design and consulting
professional services for government clients,” said Jensen. “I’m looking
forward to building on AECOM’s strong track record of exceptional client service
and unprecedented market growth.”
Prior to joining the private sector, Jensen served more than 20 years in the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserve as a naval aviator and aerospace engineering duty officer. He has earned multiple acquisition certifications from the U.S. Department of Defense, as well as a Master of Science in astronautical engineering and a Bachelor of Science in aerospace engineering.
