ARCADIS ANNOUNCES LEADERSHIP TRANSITIONS
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Arcadis today announced two leadership successions. As of September 1, Kenneth
Poon, CEO of Arcadis Asia, will be succeeded by Matt Bennion, Chief Operating
Officer for Arcadis Asia. Mr. Poon will retire at year-end after more than 40
years service with Langdon & Seah, an Arcadis company. He will continue to play
an important role with Arcadis, looking after the interests of our clients as a
non-executive member of the advisory board for the firm in Asia. Matt Bennion is
currently responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Asia organization,
working alongside Mr. Poon for the past 2.5 years. As CEO, Mr. Bennion will help
ensure that our clients in Asia receive the very best solutions, drawing on the
full range of Arcadis' capabilities. Mr. Bennion is a former partner in EC
Harris and former Director of Arcadis' Global Buildings Business Line.
In accordance with the company's succession planning John Jastrem, currently CEO
of Arcadis North America will be succeeded effective July 1(st) by Joachim
Ebert, Chief Operating Officer for Arcadis North America. Mr. Jastrem joined
Arcadis in 2014 upon the acquisition of his former company, Callison, and will
leave having successfully implemented the structure for the transformation of
the North America business. Mr. Jastrem will continue to be available to
Arcadis in an advisory capacity to ensure a smooth leadership transition. Mr.
Ebert currently manages the day-to-day operations of the North American
organization and has been the driving force behind the design and implementation
of the region's strategic growth priorities. Mr. Jastrem and Mr. Ebert have been
working closely in tandem for 18 months, sharing the leadership responsibilities
to drive the turnaround of Arcadis North America.
Commenting on the appointments, Neil McArthur, CEO of Arcadis said, "I would
like to thank Kenneth and John for their service to Arcadis. In more than 40
years with the company, Kenneth led the creation of Arcadis Asia, building on
the strong foundations of both Langdon & Seah and EC Harris Asia, and helped
establish the company as one of the leading Design & Consultancy firms in Asia.
John Jastrem has successfully led the turnaround plan for our North America
business, aimed at getting the business back on-track and positioned for future
growth. In Matt and Joachim we have two strong, young leaders who will have an
impact on the future of Arcadis. I am excited to welcome both of them to our
Senior Management Committee."
