We are pleased to announce that Leah Stanton, PE has transitioned into the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) for Weston & Sampson Engineers, Inc.
This transition, effective July 1, 2024, follows a year of Leah working closely with Weston & Sampson Engineers’ President Jeff Alberti, LEED® AP, to ensure a smooth and effective handover.
Leah will continue to serve as the Water Discipline Leader for the remainder of the year, collaborating with the Water Discipline team to prepare a thorough transition plan.
Leah has dedicated her career to municipal drinking water infrastructure at Weston & Sampson. Joining us in 1996 as an entry-level engineer, Leah brought with her a Master of Science degree from the University of New Hampshire. Her early work involved water system hydraulic modeling, master planning, and utility and distribution system infrastructure, laying the groundwork for her expertise in hydraulics and mechanical systems. Leah’s interest in construction and buildings propelled her to become a specialist in water plants. Promoted to Discipline Leader in 2016, Leah also served a three-year term on the Board of Directors beginning in 2019.
In her new role as COO, Leah will oversee the day-to-day operations of our company, ensuring efficiency, effectiveness, and alignment with our vision and values. She will work closely with the executive team and the Board of Directors to develop and execute our strategic vision and goals.
Frank Ricciardi, PE, LSP, the firm’s CEO, says, “I’m truly thrilled to be able to collaborate even closer with Leah as we work as a team with others to help guide the future of Weston & Sampson. I’ve known Leah for over 20 years and trust her business skills and instincts implicitly. This is a significant step forward for us and I am looking forward to what the future holds.”
Please join us in wishing Leah great success in her new role. We are confident that her insights, expertise, and leadership will continue to drive our commitment to providing innovative and sustainable solutions to our clients.
