Philadelphia, PA — Winston Simmonds has been named Hatch’s Regional Director, Infrastructure, USA. Winston is replacing Dominic DiBrito, who has been named Managing Director of the firm’s Transit business unit.

Winston will lead Hatch’s extensive USA Infrastructure group, delivering our deep expertise for clients in transit, water, urban solutions, and transportation, including rail, ports and terminals, highways and bridges, and aviation.

“Winston possesses a keen understanding of the sector’s challenges and opportunities, and has a proven track record of working collaboratively and successfully with our clients and partners for delivering safe, innovative and sustainable project outcomes,” said Michael Schatz, Global Managing Director, Infrastructure at Hatch. “We are confident that Winston is the right person to lead our USA team.”
