Background

About Mark Whiteley

As a senior executive with over 25 years of global leadership experience across 25 countries, I drive strategic transformation, operational excellence, and growth acceleration for both AECOM and our clients. My leadership style blends strategic foresight with operational rigor, enabling organizations to scale sustainably and adapt confidently. I’m driven by a passion for building and empowering high-performance teams that unlock innovation, stimulate change and solve the most complex challenges. I bring inspiration, and a sense of excitement to team environments, fostering cultures where people are energized to collaborate and exceed expectations. At AECOM, I’m scaling a pioneering management consulting and advisory capability, that now competes with top-tier global firms, launching operations in 9 new markets across North America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, and driving 60% annual growth in both revenue and organizational capacity. My advisory leadership spans the corporate, government, military, education, healthcare, technology and cultural sectors, where I’ve led high-impact initiatives guiding executive leadership through business, organizational, financial, physical and technological change. I’ve worked with over 125 top-tier clients, including Novartis, Dow, GE and Amtrak, the Canadian and UAE Governments, cities of Los Angeles, Washington DC and Miami, municipal utilities in San Francisco, Chicago, Denver and Detroit, multiple U.S. Federal Departments, LA 2028 Olympics, U.S. Space and Air Forces, and leading academic institutions such as MIT and Stanford.
