Hill International Names Michael B. Smith President of the Company’s Americas Region and Promotes New U.S. Leaders - Seite 2

Assuming leadership of Hill’s Southeastern region, Castrodad has led Hill’s teams on some of Hill’s most high-profile and complex programs and projects. This includes his oversight of several project monitoring assignments for the Federal Transit Administration, the Miami Beach Convention Center Expansion, and the award-winning Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science. As First Vice President, Castrodad will now be responsible for all of Hill’s operations in the region as well as for continuing to grow Hill’s services and support.

Villamizar, based in Hill’s Irvine, CA, will now have overall responsibility and authority for all operations and activities as First Vice President of Southern California. Villamizar, who previously served as Vice President, Western Business Development Manager, played a key part in making Southern California the company’s largest profit center in the U.S. in 2020.

Smith said of his new responsibilities, “This is an exciting time for construction in the U.S. The outlook for increased Federal infrastructure spending, the strengthening economic recovery, and the long-term impacts of COVID-19 present a wealth of opportunities for Hill as well as challenges for us and our clients. I’m looking forward to working with Greg, Luis, Eladio, J.P., and all of Hill’s leadership across the Americas to realize those opportunities, achieve our clients’ goals, and make our business grow.”

Hill Chief Executive Officer Raouf Ghali adds, “These promotions and Hill’s new managerial structure for the Americas gives us a lean, effective organization to win new work, staff and execute our assignments, and deliver the results our clients expect from us. I know Mike is the right leader for Hill in the Americas and am confident he and his team will deliver great things for our company.”
