Wednesday, September 9, 2015

Mahesh Ramanujam has been named incoming chief executive officer for the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Board of Directors.

Ramanujam will assume duties once current CEO and USGBC co-founder Rick Fedrizzi steps down at the end of 2016.

“As a founder, I could not be happier, and as a CEO, I could not be more satisfied that I’ll be able to leave USGBC in the best hands possible,” said Fedrizzi. “Since Mahesh first joined USGBC in 2009, he has transformed every corner of the organization, focusing on high performance and putting the needs of our customers and community members first.”

Ramanujam joined USGBC in 2009 as Senior Vice President, Technology, before being named chief operating officer in September 2011. In December 2012, he was also named president of the Green Building Certification Institute, which later became Green Business Certification Inc.

“I’m deeply honored that Rick and the Board have placed their trust in me, and I will serve the organization and our movement with a long-term vision – keeping innovation as a top priority,” said Ramanujam. “As USGBC’s CEO, I pledge to continually modernize and enhance our capabilities and performance to ensure we deliver the future that our founders envisioned.”
