Michael Mondshine has joined Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, as Vice President of Sustainability, Energy, and Climate Change and a member of the firm’s Environmental Services (ES) leadership team.
Mondshine joins Stantec after nearly 30 years of experience as a business leader and technical consultant in greenhouse gas accounting, policy development, mitigation, resilience, and adaptation for firms based in the United States and Canada with global reach. He began his career in 1993 as an energy industry specialist at Leidos—formerly known as Science Applications International Corporation—before moving to WSP in 2014.

“I am excited to be joining Stantec at this time,” said Mondshine. “It will take legions of experts across a wide swath of domains to secure the just and sustainable future that is an economic and social imperative. I believe that in Stantec, I have found a critical mass of talented staff with a depth of knowledge and corporate culture to make a global impact.”
