Alexandre L'Hériteau

Alexandre L'Hériteau leads WSP Global as CEO, overseeing the world's largest pure-play professional services and engineering consultancy firm. With more than 73,000 employees across 40+ countries, WSP provides advisory, planning, engineering design, and project management services for major infrastructure, transportation, building, environmental, and industrial projects worldwide. WSP has grown dramatically through a serial acquisition strategy, most notably the transformative 2024 acquisition of POWER Engineers (U.S. energy infrastructure consulting) and the 2022 acquisition of the Environment & Infrastructure business from Atos. This acquisition-led growth, combined with strong organic performance, has made WSP the global leader in engineering consulting by revenue. The engineering consultancy business is asset-light (people are the primary asset), benefits from long project cycles, and is supported by massive global infrastructure investment needs — transportation, energy transition, water, climate adaptation, and urban development. Key stock drivers include global infrastructure spending, backlog growth and book-to-bill ratio, acquisition pipeline and integration execution, organic revenue growth, utilization rates and billing rates, competition with AECOM, Jacobs, and Arcadis, talent recruitment and retention, and the energy transition and climate adaptation investment cycle.
