BKF has welcomed Susan Mays as its new Vice President of Marketing & Communications, bringing more than 35 years of marketing and communications leadership in the engineering, construction, and environmental consulting industries to the firm.
“It’s an exceptional time in the BKF’s history,” said Mays. “Between the MNS merger, our ambition to become the leading West Coast-based engineering and consulting firm, and a keen focus on client and employee experience, there’s a lot of opportunity to help shape what comes next.”
In her new role, Mays will lead BKF’s Marketing & Communications team and advance the firm’s growth through brand strategy, public relations, content marketing, proposals, thought leadership, and business development support.
Most recently, Mays served as Vice President of Marketing Communications & Regulatory Affairs at RES, following senior leadership roles at Arcadis and CH2M. Throughout her career, she has led marketing and communications strategies supporting complex organizations through periods of growth, transformation, and market expansion.
“Susan brings extensive experience in brand development, team leadership, and aligning marketing and communications with business growth,” said Devon Kurcina, Chief Business Development Officer at BKF. “Her deep understanding of the engineering and infrastructure sectors, along with her ability to translate business priorities into effective market engagement, will be a significant asset as BKF continues to grow and expand its capabilities.”
