KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 10 (Bernama) – Rimkus, a worldwide provider of engineering and technical consulting services, has appointed Jonathan E. Higgins as its new president and chief executive officer (CEO), succeeding Robert “Bob” Kocher.
After more than 25 years at Rimkus, Kocher has retired as president and CEO and assumed a new role as vice chair on the board of directors.
“Having worked at Rimkus for more than 20 years, I am passionate about our people’s success, our commitment to help solve our clients’ most complex problems and our vision to be a global one-stop resource for our partners,” said Higgins.
In a statement, Rimkus said Higgins played a pivotal role in executing the global firm’s strategic plan and solidifying Rimkus’ market position in forensic consulting, dispute resolution and construction management services, solutions for the built environment, and life sciences support for the consumer, industrial, and healthcare industries.
“As we approach our 40th anniversary, it’s an exciting time to welcome new leadership. We have full confidence that Jon will drive our business forward during this next chapter. He is a proven operating executive and a strong champion of our workplace culture,” said its chairman and executive director, Curtis Brown.
A graduate of the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering, with an emphasis in structural engineering, Higgins previously served as chief operating officer at Rimkus.
He has over 27 years of engineering and leadership experience, drawing on the foundation and core values developed during his military service in the United States Navy where he served as a civil engineering corps officer.
