Nicholas DeNichilo ’73, M.S. ’78 marveled as a child at the construction equipment that brought buildings, bridges and highways to life before his eyes. Decades later, he still feels that magic. Comments such as “green energy is so exciting” regularly punctuate conversations about his daily work.
As the president and CEO of engineering giant Mott MacDonald, North America, DeNichilo now takes on transportation, water and energy infrastructure projects made vastly more complex by resiliency problems such as climate change and earthquakes.
