Los Angeles, CA According to Syska Hennessy Group, Inc., senior principal and board member John Passanante, PE, RCDD, has assumed leadership of the firm's Los Angeles office, heading up overall operations for the location. In addition, he will continue to lead the San Diego office to which he relocated from the firm's New York headquarters over a year ago.
Passanante began his career with Syska Hennessy in their New York City headquarters more than 18 years ago. During his tenure in that location, he led the company's global Information and Communication Technology, as well as the Facilities Management and Commissioning practices. These teams, under John's oversight, experienced year-over-year growth and increased market share, attributed to their technical excellence, exceptional client service and operational efficiency. More recently, he relocated to California, stepping into leadership of the San Diego and now the Los Angeles offices. While he will continue to maintain an active presence in San Diego, his hallmark technical excellence, project delivery approach and client-focus will now influence the entire region. His primary focus will be to grow collaboration between the offices, allowing for seamless client service for projects, wherever they are located. "I'm looking forward to my new role leading the Los Angeles office for Syska Hennessy and I'm excited about working with this talented team," Passanante said. "In looking to accelerate growth for the Southern California market, we are going to rely on what works for us; fostering lean business operations, elevating key client relationships across Southern California, and enhancing team leadership and growth opportunities." "We want to continue to be recognized for the technical quality of our work, for implementing best practices, committed to superior project management, and exceptional communications. That is how we continually improve our performance for clients and how we grow new client relationships," he said. Passanante holds a bachelor of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
