Brown and Caldwell, a full-service environmental engineering and construction services firm creating and delivering water and environmental solutions throughout North America and the Pacific, promoted Wendy Broley, P.E., to Private Sector Business Unit (PSBU) Leader.
Broley, who was previously the company’s Chief Technical Officer (CTO), now oversees the company’s full suite of environmental services and tailored solutions to private sector clients. She reports to Euan Finlay, President and Chief Operations Officer.
“Wendy’s long-standing industry leadership, passion and technical expertise will help us continue to drive growth and innovation for our clients in private sector markets,” Finlay said. “She will lead our private sector business unit teams and clients through an exciting period, as we’re seeing an increased development of data centers that require sustainable water solutions and a resurgence in the energy sector. No matter the situation, Wendy and our team will support our private sector partners in addressing complex business needs and serving their communities in the most impactful ways.”
With more than two decades of experience in water and wastewater engineering and operations, Broley joined Brown and Caldwell in 2014 and has held various roles including the company’s One Water Leader, Consulting Services Leader and Water Reuse Leader, working with clients to evaluate alternative water uses and develop diverse, resilient water portfolios. In 2022, she was promoted to CTO from Director of Technical Practices to further Brown and Caldwell’s technical services and solutions for both the municipal and private sectors. As CTO, her leadership and support included the recent acquisition of Separation Processes, Inc. (SPI), expanding the company’s membrane technology expertise for water and wastewater clients.
“I look forward to leading our exceptional talent, who are deeply focused on supporting our private sector clients as they navigate today’s market challenges and opportunities, while preparing for what’s next. Our Brown and Caldwell team of experts is well positioned to collaborate and identify innovative water and environmental solutions, deliver quality work across a range of lifecycle services, and create value for our private sector clients.” Wendy Broley, Brown and Caldwell Private Sector Business Unit Leader
