Fluor Corporation’s Board of Directors has announced the appointment of Fluor and
industry veteran Alan L. Boeckmann to the position of chairman and chief
executive officer (CEO), effective February 6, 2002. Boeckmann, 53, succeeds
current Fluor Chairman and CEO Philip J. Carroll Jr.
In making the announcement, Carroll said, "I have worked closely with Alan
during my years at Fluor, and I am pleased that the board has approved my
recommendation to appoint him to this important position. Given the company’s
strategic focus on its core capabilities in engineering, procurement,
construction and maintenance (EPC&M), the board concluded that Alan’s
extensive industry experience, thorough knowledge of Fluor’s operations and
demonstrated leadership capabilities suit him well for directing the company.
During his tenure with Fluor, Boeckmann has held management positions of
increasing responsibility, including assignments in California, Texas, South
Carolina, South Africa and Venezuela. Since February 2001, he has been
serving as president and chief operating officer of Fluor Corporation.
Previously, Boeckmann served as president and CEO of Fluor Daniel, the
engineering and construction unit of Fluor. He previously served as president
of Fluor Daniel’s Energy & Chemicals Group; Fluor Daniel’s Chemicals, Plastics
& Fibers Operating Company; and the Chemical Processes & Industrial Business
Group.
Prior to that, he served as vice president of the company’s business
unit that formed its DuPont alliance and as the functional leader of
Engineering.
"I am grateful for the significant opportunities I’ve been given during my
27 years with Fluor, and I am honored to have been selected to represent the
considerable talent that Fluor employees represent," said Boeckmann. "Our
industry is entering a renewed growth phase, and Fluor is prepared to
capitalize on the long-term up-cycle we see developing in many of the major
markets we serve."
Commenting on Carroll’s tenure, Boeckmann said, "The board and company are
grateful to Phil for his significant contributions. He has accomplished what
he came here to do. He was instrumental in redirecting the company’s strategy
and increasing its focus on clients. He led the separation of Massey Coal
from Fluor, creating significant value for shareholders of both companies.
Fluor’s improved financial performance is a result of Phil’s emphasis on
fiscal discipline and focus on serving select clients for whom Fluor can
deliver value."
Carroll, 64, has served as chairman and CEO of Fluor Corporation since
1998. Prior to joining Fluor, Carroll served 37 years with Shell Oil Company,
retiring as its president and CEO.
