OCWA's President and CEO - Rob Andrews
At the beginning of 2014, OCWA was happy to welcome Rob Andrews as the Agency's new President and CEO. Mr. Andrews joins OCWA with an extensive career in the water and wastewater industry with his previous position as Chief Executive, Global Water at AECOM - the world's leading engineering and design group.
Mr. Andrews says it was OCWA's reputation and his previous history helping to start-up OCWA 20 years ago that first attracted him to his current role. "I am impressed by OCWA's continued great reputation as a water industry leader. My predecessor Jane Pagel, did a lot to promote the OCWA brand in Ontario, across Canada and around the world as well as realign the organization."
Mr. Andrews adds that his approach to business has always been client focused - like OCWA's. "The message that I was hearing about OCWA from my contacts in the industry was that OCWA was an organization focused on building and maintaining relationships with clients by providing them with value-added services, as well as exceptional operations and maintenance."
