Ramboll appoints new Transport Market Director for UK and Ireland

Ann assumes the role having previously been a Project Director in the Transport Project Management Team and Masterplanning Market Lead.

Ann has been with Ramboll for 20 years, starting with the firm as a graduate, and has worked on projects across the world in Europe, America and the Middle East during her extensive tenure.

She is known for being a passionate people advocate and for her strong client-centric approach, having been responsible for some of Ramboll’s highest profile projects in the UK and Ireland, including HS2 and Digital Rail.

In her new role, Ann’s key areas of focus will be driving a nature positive approach to sustainable transport and acting as a trusted advisor to Ramboll’s clients in the transport sector as their partner for Sustainable Change.

Ann’s remit will centre on developing holistic, sustainable and resilient transport, with specific focus on further building on Ramboll’s global rail expertise and delivering on major structures and critical infrastructure to support sustainable development across cities, airports, ports and highways.

The decarbonisation of the transport sector is key to the UK achieving its net zero targets. With investment into sustainable transport across the world gathering pace to help meet carbon emission targets, Ann will be instrumental in supporting Ramboll’s continued growth in the sector as it looks to support the UK’s decarbonisation objectives.

I’m also looking forward to driving collaboration across Ramboll to bring holistic, sustainable, and innovative solutions to our clients. Empowering others has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career so far and I’m very pleased to have the opportunity to build on that even further in this new role.”

Stefan Wallmann, Global Transport Managing Director, Ramboll, said:

“It’s fantastic to be welcoming Ann into her new position. In her new role, she will be working with the global leadership teams as well as those for the UK & Ireland, so we will be working together closely to support our ambitions for growth alongside achieving our mission to act as the Partner for Sustainable Change to all our clients.”

Ramboll’s UK & Ireland Managing Director, Neil Sansbury, added:
