He succeeds David Gan, who will transition to serving as Senior Advisor and plans to retire in 2027. As Chief Legal Officer, Mr. Kumar will lead legal and public affairs globally and continue serving as Corporate Secretary.

"Throughout his more than 20 years at AECOM, David has made important contributions to our company, helping strengthen our legal, governance and compliance capabilities while supporting many of our most significant business initiatives," said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chairman and chief executive officer. "Building on that strong foundation, I look forward to Manav bringing his broad leadership experience, business judgment and enterprise perspective to help advance our strategy and support our continued success."

Mr. Kumar currently serves as AECOM’s Corporate General Counsel and Global Head of Public Affairs, and he has held several positions at the Company spanning legal, public affairs and enterprise leadership.

Previously, Mr. Kumar held legal and policy positions across private practice and government, including serving as Deputy Counsel to the Mayor of Los Angeles and Chief Olympics Officer for the City of Los Angeles during its successful pursuit of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Mr. Gan's upcoming retirement follows a distinguished legal career and more than 20 years of leadership at AECOM.
