Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. (HRG) has promoted Adrienne Vicari to vice president of growth, a new position that drives new client development across the organization.

The position was created as part of an ongoing organizational realignment to scale the firm for growth while preserving its commitment to technical excellence and personalized service. The realignment creates unique channels for client outreach, technical expertise, and operational delivery, ensuring each gets proper focus and attention.

“To serve our clients best,” HRG’s Chief Services Officer, Josh Fox says, “we need to deeply embed ourselves in the markets we serve, building relationships and understanding their needs. We also need to have a high level of technical expertise in the services we offer, staying up to date on emerging trends and technologies so that we are at the forefront of quality and innovation. At the same time, we need to be an expert at project delivery, steering projects through challenges while meeting all schedule and budget goals. Each of these responsibilities requires unique skillsets and dedicated effort, so we wanted to establish leaders for each area while facilitating collaboration across all three channels.”

Vicari will lead the first channel, focused on building and nurturing client relationships. She will oversee a team of people embedded in HRG’s primary markets – government, utilities, and institutions – connecting with new clients, getting to know their operations, and assembling a team within HRG uniquely suited to meet their needs. This team will ensure HRG is deeply attuned to the challenges our clients face, while creating capacity for technical and project delivery leaders to excel in their roles.

Vicari is well-suited for this role. She has more than 20 years of experience at HRG, serving clients across every industry and geographic we region we serve, and has consistently demonstrated deep insight into our clients’ needs and goals. She previously served as practice area leader for HRG’s Strategic Management & Capital Solutions group, helping clients streamline operations and achieve financial sustainability. She has also served in a variety of leadership positions with industry and community organizations, such as the Society of Women Environmental Professionals, Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Association (PMAA) Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) Committee, Pennsylvania Water Environment Association’s (PWEA) Utility Management Committee, and Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania.
