As with every PSMJ program, this course is delivered by A/E/C industry experts with extensive experience and successful track records.

Arnon Garonzik joined PSMJ following a lengthy career in the A/E/C industry. He served as the Chief Legal Officer of A/E/C service companies during the first 25 years of his career including 10 years as a partner and in-house General Counsel for Environmental Resources Management (ERM) Group, one of the world’s largest environmental engineering and consulting firms. Arnon then spent 10 years as CEO of ECOR Solutions, an environmental construction and waste site cleanup company. In the course of his in-house legal and business career, Arnon managed the acquisition of 14 companies and advised on numerous other M&A and ownership transition transactions. Arnon has also consulted with A/E/C firms in the areas of strategic and operational planning, employee performance evaluation systems, and incentive compensation plans.

Before joining PSMJ, Brian Burnett was the President/CEO of a mid-sized engineering firm and has first-hand experience developing and implementing an effective ownership transition plan.  Brian helped lead his former firm through four major transitions: in 1985, he became a partner and Vice President when the founder of the company retired; in 1997, he became President; in 2003, he became the President/CEO upon the retirement of a 40-year corporate leader; and from 2013 to 2017, Brian helped the company replace and transition nine major leadership positions including his CEO position. Overseeing this final transition required extensive planning and leadership development over an eight-year period.
