AECOM’s first president and CEO was Richard Newman, who came to Ashland through its acquisition of DMJM. Newman served as president of Ashland Technology and was instrumental in the creation of AECOM through an employee buyback when Ashland chose to return to its core petroleum business.
Newman turned over AECOM's management to its current chairman and CEO, John M. Dionisio, in October 2005 and remains the company chairman, emeritus. Dionisio came to AECOM through Frederic R. Harris, Inc. and served as AECOM's chief operating officer prior to becoming president and CEO.
In 2007, AECOM added Norman Mineta, the former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation under President George W. Bush and Secretary of U.S. Department of Commerce under President Bill Clinton, to its board of directors. Mineta served on the board until 2011.
