We are pleased to announce that the shareholders of Fehr & Peers have unanimously elected Chris Mitchell, P.E. as the next President/CEO. This decision is the culmination of a multi-year effort to transition this role as Matt Henry (President/CEO for the past 15 years) prepares to step away in September 2020 and move to a part-time role with Left Lane Advisors — our subsidiary specializing in leadership development, executive coaching, and management consulting.
