Global construction consultancy, Soben, has announced a raft of senior promotions after another year of significant growth.
It comes as the Glasgow-headquartered company expects to close the 2024 financial year with a revenue increase of more than 40 per cent, following a strong performance in the data centre sector driven by the AI-fuelled expansion of global digital infrastructure.
Soben has taken on several major data centre developments across Europe and the Americas, as well as continuing its work in Life Sciences, Energy and Infrastructure, supporting projects in 43 countries.
The five leadership appointments are all internal promotions, designed to ensure Soben is well-positioned for its projected growth in 2025 and beyond.
It added it is forecasting another record-breaking financial year for 2025, with revenue again exceeding 40 per cent and headcount to grow to more than 400 globally.
Promotions
Joe Cusick has been promoted to group chief operating officer (COO), overseeing global service delivery. Since joining the firm in 2021, he has led its expansion into the Americas, where Soben now has operations across the US, Chile, Brazil and Mexico.
Meanwhile, Robert Kim has been promoted to CEO Americas, taking over Soben’s fastest-growing region from Cusick.
Former financial director, Colin Smith, has been promoted to group chief financial officer (CFO), taking responsibility for managing finance, commercial operations, controls, reporting, and compliance.
Mark Smith has been promoted to group account executive, where he will support Soben’s largest global tech client with its expansion plans.
And, finally, data centre expert, Pieter Schaap, has been promoted to group development director and will be working with Soben’s biggest data centre clients.
“These leadership appointments are a reflection of Soben’s incredible growth over the past few years,” said Scott Smyth, Soben founder and CEO.
“Each of these individuals has demonstrated exceptional commitment and expertise, and their promotions signify our investment in our people as we look to the future.
“We are proud to build a leadership team that will continue driving our vision forward, ensuring we deliver excellence for our clients across the globe.”
