Arup to develop aviation transaction practice in the US
Justin Powell, an expert in business and financial planning related to aviation transactions, has joined Arup's San Francisco office to develop an aviation transaction practice in the Americas.
Justin Powell has joined Arup as an associate principal as a part of the Transaction Advice practice. Based in San Francisco, Mr. Powell brings over 17 years of experience as a global aviation infrastructure consultant with extensive business planning, market analysis, and project management experience.

Mr. Powell started his career as an operations officer in the Royal Navy and then served as the Asia operations manager for a containerized cargo line. He holds an MBA from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California.

"I have always been aware of Arup as a leading edge infrastructure provider, and the globally integrated structure of the company - integrating other disciplines such as urban planning, engineering services and sustainability with aviation transaction advice - offers aviation clients a full range of services and solutions under one roof. I am excited to be on board and looking forward to developing work throughout the Americas."
