Deerkoski Joins Thornton Tomasetti as Senior Principal and Transportation Practice Co-Leader
NEW YORK, NY — Thornton Tomasetti announces that John C. Deerkoski, P.E. has joined the firm as Senior Principal and Transportation Practice Co-Leader. Based in the New York office, Deerkoski will partner with Senior Principal and Transportation Practice Co-Leader Sam Summerville on the strategic growth and overall management of the transportation and infrastructure groups.
“We are pleased to welcome John to the executive team,” said Thornton Tomasetti Managing Director Gary Panariello. “His extensive technical background, industry experience, and team-building leadership style make him a good fit for the expansion of our Transportation practice. Together with Sam, John will focus on ways of working smarter and better for our clients while creating new opportunities for the advancement of staff.”
