Sr. VP/National Highway Business Line Leader | AIAI Director of WSPThis weeks guest host Shawn WIlson:
As WSP's National agency coordination leader for transportation and infrastructure, and AIAI Board Member, Shawn brings a wealth of insight and expertise to the industry. Former head of the state DOTD, he oversaw more than $5.2 billion in construction projects, including the state’s first five discretionary grants that exceeded $250 million.
Wilson established the state’s Office of Innovative Procurement, advancing innovative finance and accelerating design-build. He also developed and implemented the state’s first GARVEE (Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicle) Bond issuance valued at $675 million to include the DOTD’s first two Construction Manager at Risk projects, and successfully delivered the state’s first infrastructure public-private partnership (P3) and ushered the state’s second P3 to near completion, a $2.1 billion bridge P3 in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
He also served as then Governor John Bel Edwards’ policy leader and helped develop the framework for the state’s recurring vehicle sales tax initiative, valued at nearly $236 million annually.
Wilson was elected as the first African American president of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) for 2021-2022. He also served on the executive committee as chairman for the Transportation Research Board.
