Mark Fallon took over as chief executive officer of Aptim Corp. during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, about four years after departing CH2M: now a Jacobs subsidiary that still looms large in the nuclear-cleanup market.
Boxed in by a year of telework, like many of his peers, Fallon is eager for the energy and vibe of in-person work to return. When it does, the environmentally minded chief executive has vowed to put his back into Aptim’s continued push for more Department of Energy business.
“We’re an ascendent player but not a large player in that market today,” Fallon said.
With a toehold in Defense Department decommissioning and a growing presence in the old weapons complex, Fallon believes that Aptim ― assembled from the remnants of old Shaw Group and CB&I business segments ― could inject some needed new blood into one of the federal government’s most challenging public obligations.
Fallon spoke recently with the ExchangeMonitor editorial staff. Subscribers to the weekly Weapons Complex Monitor can read the entire interview in the next issue of the long-running newsletter, which drops tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 07, 2021.
