CP&Y’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of J.J. Roohms, PE to President of CP&Y, effective July 28th, 2020. J.J.’s election to President will allow for his oversight of the firm’s day-to-day management decisions and strategies as part of our overall growth plan, and is effective immediately. “J.J. is well poised to fill this role and I am confident he will represent our company well, both internally and externally,” remarked CP&Y CEO Pete Patel.
J.J.’s career with CP&Y, spans 26 years and has contributed to his wealth of experience in all facets of consulting, extensive leadership and client-service knowledge, and a sterling reputation across the architectural, engineering, and construction industries. Having served as our Chief Operating Officer from 2013, J.J. has worked closely with our CEO, Pete Patel, to thoughtfully construct the leadership team with whom we work daily. CP&Y’s Board of Directors is confident that J.J.’s new role is another step in the continuation of supporting our service lines for greater advancement and success on behalf of the firm.
CP&Y’s succession planning is a priority in maintaining and improving upon the firm’s long-standing reputation for providing quality, cost-effective infrastructure solutions. The firm will celebrate 40 years in business on October 1, 2020 and will commemorate this important milestone by providing ongoing Employee-Owner engagement and education offerings to reflect upon CP&Y’s rich history.
CP&Y was established in 1980 with a vision to provide safe and reliable environmental services to clients and their communities; through the firm’s success, we have since enjoyed significant growth, and over just the last five years, increased our team of 100 Employee-Owners to one 400+ Partners across five states. CP&Y has evolved from a Texas-based engineering firm, to a rapidly growing, multidisciplinary and multi-state engineering, surveying, construction, and architectural consulting firm.
We’re thrilled for J.J.’s leadership through a new chapter of our history. We invite you to join us in celebration of our 40th Anniversary on October 1st. We look forward to commemorating this important milestone and honoring the Employee-Owners so pivotal to our growth and without whom, such advancement would not have been possible.
