Prior to the launch of AECOM, he served as president of Ashland Technology Corp. as well as DMJM, an architecture, engineering and construction services firm, both before and after it was acquired by Ashland in 1984. Earlier, Newman served as president of Genge, one of the first publicly traded architectural and engineering firms.
Newman is also a director of Southwest Water Co., Sempra Energy Co. and 13 mutual funds under Capital Research and Management Co.
