Golder Associates Global President and CEO, Dr. Hisham Mahmoud, recently gave a keynote address at the EA 2017 Summit in London.  He shared candidly about the challenges faced by Golder since he took the reins in 2015, after the “worst financial years in the company’s history” thanks to the global downturn in the mining and oil and gas sectors.  He also gives his thoughts on employee owned firms, as Golder is one of the last remaining global firms of its kind that retains an employee ownership model.  He compares this ownership model with the current trend of ever-larger, global, multi-disciplinary engineering firms. It’s a rare look inside the leadership of a large, global, geoprofessional services firm.
