ISG, a prominent architecture, engineering, and planning firm, has announced significant leadership changes with the appointment of David Doxtad as Chief Executive Officer and Andy Brandel as Chief Operating Officer. These strategic moves come as ISG aims to bolster its multidisciplinary practice and enhance its client experience across its 20 offices in nine states.

What Happened
ISG's Board of Directors has elevated David Doxtad, who previously served as President, to the role of CEO. With a career at ISG that began through an acquisition, Doxtad has played a pivotal role in the firm’s operations, strategic acquisitions, and geographic expansion. He has been particularly influential in establishing ISG's presence in Sioux Falls and strengthening relationships in South Dakota and Iowa. Andy Brandel, who joined ISG in 2001, has been promoted to COO. Brandel has held numerous roles in the company, contributing significantly to ISG’s business strategy and operational execution. Both leaders bring a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of ISG's mission to make a difference through their work.

What This Means for Your Business
For AECM professionals and government contractors, ISG’s leadership transition underscores a commitment to sustainable growth and client-focused services. With both Doxtad and Brandel having deep roots in the company, ISG is poised to leverage its employee-ownership model to drive innovation and efficiency. This transition may result in new opportunities for partnerships and collaborations, particularly for those looking to engage with a firm that values strategic growth and disciplined execution. The leadership's focus on expanding geographic reach and service offerings signals potential for increased project opportunities and a stronger competitive positioning in the market.

What US Operators Should Watch
Industry stakeholders should monitor ISG’s upcoming strategic initiatives and geographic expansion plans, especially if they align with federal or state-funded projects. As ISG continues to invest in its capabilities, there could be new procurement windows and partnership opportunities. Staying informed about ISG's evolving service offerings could provide competitive advantages for firms looking to align with a robust, employee-owned entity known for its innovative approach to the AEC industry.
