It would be difficult to celebrate our 70th anniversary without recognizing the single most important transformation in Gateway's history - our strategic decision to become a Project Focused Organization (PFO). The Project Focused Organization is an organizational philosophy and structure in which individual projects are the focal element, where everyone and everything in the organization is focused on the selling and executing of projects. The term PFO was first introduced to our President Emeritus, Daniel S. Deiseroth, P.E., when attending a seminar on the philosophy. It was there that Dan met Bob Maxman, an industry professional providing management consultant and support services to architectural, engineering and construction firms. With Bob's guidance, Gateway adopted the PFO structure and hired Mike Zavoina in 1998 as its CEO. The transformation from a traditional, department-based organization to a project focused organization ensured that client projects were always the main focal point of the business. Today, Gateway's practice as a PFO continues to fuel our growth and operational excellence and is one of our core brand pillars: People, Projects, and Purpose. #GatewayEngineers #PeopleProjectsAndPurpose #CivilEngineering #70Years
