Auckland-headquartered advisory, design and engineering consultancy Beca has appointed a new chief executive, and she’s the first woman and the first non-engineer to take on the role.
Geographer and planner Amelia Linzey will run Beca from October 1, taking over from Greg Lowe.
“In the 102 years we’ve been going,we don’t make leadership changes very often, but when we do, we plan for succession,” says Linzey. “A lot of the work we do here is about infrastructure and community change and we’re in a great position with a decarbonisation drive to transform the worlds we touch.”
Linzey is a director of Beca Group and Beca NZ, and will join the Australia and Asia boards. She is currently advisory group director, chief planner and chair of the sustainability steering group.
