About our executive management group

GHD's management structure is underpinned by the Executive Management Group (EMG), a team of senior executives empowered by the GHD board to plan, manage and lead our business.

Committed and connected approach

The EMG aims to provide supportive leadership to encourage a client-service led culture that is driven by a connected global network of professionals. Each month, the EMG meets in a different location across GHD's operations, which enables our people and leaders to collaborate effectively towards a common purpose.

Specifically, the EMG is responsible for:

• Implementing strategy
• Business performance management
• Systems, processes and policies
• People, culture and values
• Succession, leadership development
• Business plans and budget
