Randy Abdallah

Every leadership team needs a “glass half full” guy, and the eternal optimist role suits Randy Abdallah to a tee. Randy is the head of Walbridge’s Get Work unit, which means exactly what it says. He gets work (or directs business development if you prefer something a bit more formal) and does so to the tune of about $1.5 billion in sales commitments from clients every year.

Randy has more than 40 years of construction industry experience, and he’s been bringing it to bear with us since 1997, during which time he’s overseen Walbridge office openings in São Paolo, Brazil; Dubai and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; and Doha, Qatar.

Randy is a graduate of the Construction Engineering Technology program at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, Canada and the University of Texas’s Macomb School of Business Executive Training Program, and his knowledge of the industry is constantly growing as a member of the Construction Users Round Table, Engineering & Construction Contracting, and the Engineering Society of Detroit. In 2012, he served as Chairman of the Research Committee of the Construction Industry Institute and is a recipient of the organization’s Distinguished Service Award.

Beyond being of service to the construction community, Randy believes it’s equally important to serve the greater community, as evidenced by the work he does with the United Way.
