By globalleadershipreview | Monday, 3 August 2026

WSP Canada has announced the appointment of Corina Moore as its new Chief Growth Officer (CGO), effective August 17, marking a significant step in the engineering and professional services firm's long-term strategy to expand its market presence and strengthen client relationships across Canada. The appointment reflects WSP's commitment to accelerating sustainable growth while capitalizing on increasing demand for infrastructure, transportation, energy, and environmental consulting services.

Corina Moore joins WSP Canada with an accomplished leadership background spanning transportation, infrastructure, and public sector organizations. She is widely recognized for leading large, complex organizations through periods of transformation while building strong partnerships with governments, businesses, and communities. Her extensive experience in strategic planning, operational leadership, and stakeholder engagement positions her to help WSP identify new growth opportunities in one of Canada's fastest-evolving infrastructure markets.

In her new role, Moore will oversee WSP Canada's national growth strategy, focusing on expanding client relationships, developing strategic partnerships, and identifying emerging opportunities across transportation, buildings, energy, water, environmental services, and major infrastructure projects. She will work closely with the company's executive leadership team to strengthen collaboration across business units and ensure WSP remains well positioned to meet the evolving needs of public and private sector clients.

The appointment comes at a time when Canada's infrastructure sector is experiencing unprecedented investment. Governments at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels continue to prioritize transportation modernization, clean energy, climate resilience, water management, and sustainable urban development. These long-term investments are creating significant opportunities for engineering, consulting, and project management firms with the expertise to deliver complex infrastructure solutions.

WSP has emerged as one of the world's leading engineering and professional services firms, employing tens of thousands of professionals across more than 50 countries. The company provides consulting services covering engineering, environmental management, project delivery, architecture, transportation planning, energy systems, and digital solutions. In recent years, WSP has pursued an ambitious global growth strategy through strategic acquisitions, technology investments, and expansion into high-growth markets. Its leadership has identified infrastructure modernization, energy transition, and digital transformation as key drivers of future demand.

The creation and strengthening of senior growth-focused leadership roles reflects a broader trend across the professional services industry. As competition intensifies, organizations are increasingly appointing executives dedicated to driving business development, client engagement, and long-term strategic growth. Rather than focusing solely on revenue generation, today's Chief Growth Officers are expected to build integrated strategies that combine innovation, customer experience, partnerships, and operational excellence.

Moore's appointment also aligns with WSP's broader global strategy of investing in leadership capable of supporting sustainable expansion. The company has emphasized its intention to grow both organically and through acquisitions while increasing its presence in sectors benefiting from global megatrends such as urbanization, clean energy, digital infrastructure, and artificial intelligence-enabled engineering solutions. WSP executives have highlighted growing demand related to power infrastructure, data centers, and AI-driven engineering projects as important opportunities for future growth.

Industry analysts believe that experienced leadership will be critical as engineering firms navigate increasingly complex projects requiring collaboration across multiple disciplines. Clients now expect consulting partners to provide integrated solutions that combine engineering expertise with digital technologies, sustainability planning, environmental stewardship, and long-term asset management. Building stronger relationships while expanding into emerging sectors will therefore remain a priority for firms seeking long-term competitive advantage.

For WSP Canada, Corina Moore's appointment represents more than a leadership change—it reinforces the company's ambition to strengthen its national footprint while supporting clients delivering projects that shape communities and economies. Her experience leading transformational organizations is expected to contribute to WSP's ability to secure major infrastructure opportunities and deepen partnerships across both public and private sectors.

As Canada continues investing in resilient infrastructure and sustainable development, WSP is positioning itself to play an increasingly influential role in delivering projects that support economic growth and environmental progress. Under Corina Moore's leadership as Chief Growth Officer, the company aims to accelerate innovation, strengthen collaboration, and unlock new opportunities that support long-term success for both its clients and the communities it serves.
