Whiting-Turner Contracting Co. Executive Vice President
Timothy J. Regan will replace Willard Hackerman as CEO of the 105-year-old
company in the wake of Hackerman’s death Monday morning at age 95.
Hackerman, who was CEO for nearly 60 years, was only the
second CEO in the company’s history. He is known as the only CEO to everyone in
the company, Regan said in a statement.
“Literally every one of us has spent our entire
Whiting-Turner career under the steady hand and inspirational leadership of Mr.
Hackerman. He can never be replaced,” Regan said. “Thanks to Mr. Hackerman’s
vision and foresight, his beloved Whiting-Turner will be strong and independent
for generations to come.”
Whiting-Turner is based in Towson, Md., outside of Baltimore
but has large Washington-area presence. In 2012, it posted $642 million in
revenue in the D.C. region.
Like Hackerman, Regan is a civil engineer by training,
graduating from the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of
Maryland in 1977, according to a magazine the school publishes. Regan has
worked for the privately held Whiting-Turner for more than 30 years.
Regan will take over a company that took in $5 billion in
revenue in 2013 and employs 2,104 people — 679 of them in Baltimore. The
company is behind some of the state’s most ambitious projects, including the
second span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Harborplace, M&T Bank Stadium,
the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall and the National Aquarium.
Regan is a member of the board of directors of the Greater
Baltimore Committee and the board of visitors of the University of Maryland
School of Medicine.
