Michael E. Stevenson

Dr. Michael E. Stevenson is Board Chairman, Principal, and CEO of ESi, responsible for driving the overarching vision and strategy and translating it into the day-to-day character and operations of the company. He also provides direct oversight and support for the company's extensive network of operations and disciplines, focusing on harnessing the full breadth of the capabilities in service to the clients. Dr. Stevenson leads by example, combining a value-oriented solid approach and an innate ability to link technical insights to the underlying business environment and bring best practices from one industry to another.

Dr. Stevenson began his career as a materials engineer but was quickly tapped for leadership roles serving clients across a comprehensive portfolio of industries, both nationally and internationally. This exposure provided Dr. Stevenson with hands-on experience in the technical, operational, and financial aspects of leading a successful engineering consulting firm. It shaped his views on how to provide a differentiated value proposition for clients.

Dr. Stevenson brought this knowledge to ESi over a decade ago, when he helped launch the Georgia operations. Since that time, he has taken on progressive leadership roles and responsibilities, helping drive the significant year-over-year growth of the company, as well as the development of industry-leading go-to-market capabilities.
