ExxonMobil in the United States. In that role he was responsible for all aspects
of the relationship and safe, high quality delivery of all solutions that
ARCADIS provides in the U.S., including developing, implementing, and
continually improving the ARCADIS ExxonMobil team's health & safety systems to

Safety is an integral part of the DNA of our company," said ARCADIS CEO Neil
McArthur. "We welcome Geoff Germann and look forward to working with him in
