January 13, 2025 | Hartford, CT – Civil and environmental engineering firm Fuss & O’Neill announced the selection of Kevin Johnson, PE, PTOE to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Johnson was hired by the firm in 2019 to lead the company’s transportation practice and further the firm’s services in Massachusetts. In 2020, he was promoted to Executive Vice President of Business Development. In that role, Kevin successfully led the firm’s rapid growth in core markets and geographic expansion through acquisitions, industry hiring, strategic planning, and an unwavering commitment to improving client relationships. Kevin has held leadership roles in a broad range of global and regional organizations. He brings more than 30 years of experience to his new position, and he has been working closely with Kevin Grigg, PE, the firm’s current CEO, for the past five years to ensure a seamless transition of leadership.

“As we finish the year of our firm’s historic centennial anniversary, I am honored by the opportunity to lead Fuss & O’Neill into the next 100 years. I am committed to upholding our core values: fostering a “best place to work” culture, protecting the natural and built environments, and enhancing the quality of life in communities throughout the Northeast. I look forward to working closely with our distinguished leadership team to implement strategic initiatives that will advance our firm’s goals and create meaningful growth opportunities for our employees.”

“I am confident in the selection of Kevin Johnson as our firm’s new CEO,” states Kevin Grigg. “Kevin has been in the consulting business for decades, so he is deeply familiar with exceeding client expectations and executing successful projects. Moreover, his character and innate leadership skills are an ideal fit for the role of CEO. He takes a balanced approach to decision making - listening to differing viewpoints, weighing consequences, and considering big picture goals. Kevin’s experience and personal character make him the right choice to lead our company into new markets and geographical regions, all while maintaining the values and processes that have made our company successful for 100 years.”

This change in leadership is a planned event for Fuss & O’Neill. Kevin Grigg has been with the firm for the last 11 years of his 30+ year career and he will be retiring. Kevin Johnson has assumed the position of President and CEO effective January 1, 2025.
