Mead & Hunt is thrilled to announce that Amy Squitieri will become Chief Executive Officer on November 1, 2025. Currently serving as Mead & Hunt’s Chief Operating Officer, Amy has been with the company for more than thirty years and has played an integral role in shaping the firm’s strategic growth, employee-focused culture, and future-forward vision.
Andy Platz, outgoing CEO, will remain on as Board Chair. This leadership transition reflects years of intentional planning and close collaboration, positioning Mead & Hunt for continued success.
“Having worked alongside Amy for three decades, I’ve witnessed how her vision, integrity, and drive have elevated our firm,” says Andy. “She is exceptionally qualified for this role, and I’m confident that under her leadership, Mead & Hunt will reach new heights while staying true to our people-first culture and values.”
A Board member since 2007, Amy has led many growth and transformation initiatives, such as the firm’s Foresight + Innovation + Technology (FIT) program, to help the firm navigate technology and change in the AEC industry. She also launched the firm’s Future Readiness program to streamline operations and empower teams to thrive in a dynamic environment. Both programs reflect her commitment to delivering value to our clients, communities, and employees through collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement. Looking ahead, her priorities focus on strengthening career development, executing the strategic plan, and accelerating adoption of digital tools and AI.
Beyond her role at Mead & Hunt, Amy is helping shape the future of the AEC profession through strategic foresight and industry collaboration. She serves on the Board of Engineering Change Lab-USA (ECL-USA), a nonprofit founded to prepare the engineering community for 21st-century challenges. She also actively contributes to the ACEC Research Institute, a leading source of knowledge, thought leadership, and business strategies to further advance the built environment.
Amy’s leadership is rooted in continuous learning and improvement. She views her role as a steward in service to the firm and its people, a perspective that shapes every decision she makes. As CEO, she remains committed to preparing and mentoring the next generation of leaders, knowing that her greatest responsibility is to pass on a healthy, thriving company to the next generation of employee owners who will continue the firm’s legacy.
“It is such an honor to lead this company,” Amy says. “I think about all the talented people we have and what they’re working to accomplish. We have an impressive 125-year legacy dedicated to our values of taking care of people, doing the right thing, and doing what makes sense. I appreciate that I get to carry that torch forward and entrust a strong, growing firm to the next generation.”
