(Sharecast News) - Consulting and engineering business Wood Group has created a new executive role of chief strategy officer to look after things like sustainability and corporate development. The company, which works exclusively in the energy and materials markets, has appointed into the CSO position, Jennifer Richmond, who joined the company in 2022 as executive president of strategy and development following a 19-year career at American engineering services firm Jacobs.
