Haley & Aldrich, an engineering and environmental consulting firm in Boston, has promoted Lawrence P. Smith to president/CEO and William R. Fisher to executive vice president/chief client officer.

Smith and Fisher join current vice president/chief financial officer, Glen M. Elias, to complete Haley & Aldrich’s new executive leadership team.

Smith, who is the company’s seventh president/CEO, joined Haley & Aldrich for the second time in 1985 as a hydrogeologist and, after a series of promotions and career achievements, was named executive vice president/COO in December 2004.

"I am optimistic about our future because of our people," said Smith. "Through their dedication to deeply understanding what our clients need, and their delivery of the exceptional value necessary to enable our clients’ success, we will differentiate Haley & Aldrich in the marketplace and make our world a better place. It is a distinct honor for me to lead and support such a great group of people."

Smith takes over the role of president/CEO from Bruce E. Beverly, who served as the firm’s president/CEO from 2000 to 2010.

"Our new president/CEO, Larry Smith, and his executive leadership team are well prepared and strongly committed to lead Haley & Aldrich through the challenges presented by the current recession," said Beverly. "I’m confident that Larry and his team have positioned Haley & Aldrich to grow and thrive in the future."

Fisher joined Haley & Aldrich in 2003 as a vice president and environmental engineer. He has led the company’s focused expansion into the electric and gas utilities market, assisting clients and communities in developing comprehensive strategies to address legacy environmental issues, according to a statement.
