About Bobbi Westerby

As an environmental scientist and CEO, I lead ECT with a straightforward conviction: progress happens when passion and purpose meet disciplined execution. Our firm has a long history of delivering results far beyond what our size might suggest, and the next decade demands that same courage supported by sharper focus, stronger teams, and a clear market-driven strategy.I’m guiding ECT through a significant strategic shift from a seller–doer model to a market-focused organization advancing water and energy solutions. These markets have anchored our success for decades and are the foundation of our long-range growth plan. By aligning our people, our offerings, and our business development around market needs rather than individual project demands, we are positioning ECT to scale, diversify revenue, and deliver solutions that create lasting value for our clients.My priorities are clear:• Build a purpose-driven culture where people are supported, developed, and empowered• Strengthen ECT’s capabilities in water, energy, environmental compliance, and technology-enabled solutions• Redesign the client experience to deliver consistency, trust, and strategic value• Enhance project delivery through innovation and modern tools that improve quality, efficiency, and collaboration• Maintain independent ownership while building a resilient, future-ready workforceI believe leadership means meeting employees where they are, understanding where they want to go, and creating pathways that make growth possible. We are a progress-first company, and as we continue to evolve, my focus is ensuring that ECT remains a place where people, clients, and communities thrive through environmental and economic advancement.
