OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BKF, the premier AEC firm in the Western United States, today announced the appointment of Andrew Esposito as Chief Financial Officer, a strategic addition to its executive leadership team as the firm continues to invest in growth, expand its market presence, and pursue new opportunities across the region.
A proven financial and operational leader, Esposito brings extensive experience guiding organizations through periods of expansion while maintaining a strong focus on culture, performance, and long-term value creation. As CFO, Esposito will lead BKF's financial strategy and operations, helping position the firm for its next chapter of growth while supporting the company's commitment to employees, clients, and strategic partners.
"Andrew brings a rare combination of financial acumen, operational insight, and people-centered leadership to BKF," said CEO Darren Riegler. "He understands that the most successful organizations are built on a foundation of trust, shared values, and disciplined growth. His experience and perspective will help us continue expanding our impact, strengthening our partnerships, and creating long-term value for our people and our partners."
Most recently, Esposito served as CFO at WSP USA, where he had end-to-end responsibility for the finance operations of an approximately $8 billion business. During his tenure, he helped scale the finance organization through a threefold increase in revenue and headcount.

I'm excited to work alongside the leadership team to build on that momentum, support the firm's long-term success, and help advance our shared vision of becoming the preeminent infrastructure firm in the Western U.S."
