In this role, Mr. Driggs is responsible for driving growth and overseeing the operations of the Atlanta-based company’s 22 offices around the country. He will report to Greg Kelly, COO of Parsons Brinckerhoff, Heery’s corporate parent company.

In all, he spent 21 years with Lend Lease and its predecessor company Bovis Lend Lease. Mr. Driggs received his bachelor’s degree in construction management from Purdue University.
