Harriman, an Auburn-based architecture, engineering and design firm, has named a new CEO and a new COO to replace President and CEO Clif Greim, who is retiring June 1.
Mark Lee, who joined Harriman in 1996, will serve as CEO, and Jim Fortin, who has been with the firm for nearly 15 years, will become COO, according to a news release Thursday.
In their new roles, Lee will drive Harriman’s strategy, vision and business development, while Fortin will be responsible for internal organization, client service and project delivery. They each will also continue work in their respective design studios at the firm.
“By creating distinct areas of focus, this dynamic new leadership team will enable Harriman to respond more effectively to evolving client needs,” the firm said in the release.
Lee, a structural engineer and architect, has helped Harriman develop new centers of expertise, focusing attention on sustainability, the release said. He holds bachelor’s degrees in architectural engineering and civil engineering from Drexel University and a master’s in architecture from Boston Architectural College.
