Over the many years of its storied history, AECOM has delivered increasingly massive projects and has grown tremendously both through acquisitions and internal expansion. One acquisition — the 2010 purchase of Tishman Construction — brought with it Jay Badame. After graduating from Pennsylvania State University, Badame joined Tishman in 1985 and steadily rose through the ranks. Today he is president of building construction, AECOM.
AECOM has 90,000 employees around the world, and Badame’s group, which encompasses AECOM Hunt and AECOM Tishman, has about 3,000 people in the U.S.
