Acuren Corporation Announces Executive Changes Following NV5 Global Acquisition

Acuren Corporation announced executive changes effective August 12, 2025. Fiona Sutherland will be removed as General Counsel and Anthony Gaucher will be removed as Chief Human Resources Officer. Richard Tong, former General Counsel of NV5 Global Inc., will take on the General Counsel role, and MaryJo O'Brien, former Executive Vice President and Secretary of NV5, will become the Chief Human Resources Officer.

Acuren Corporation, a leading provider of testing, inspection, certification, and asset integrity services, announced significant executive changes effective August 12, 2025. Fiona Sutherland, the current General Counsel, and Anthony Gaucher, the Chief Human Resources Officer, will be removed from their positions. Richard Tong, former General Counsel of NV5 Global Inc., will assume the role of General Counsel, while MaryJo O'Brien, former Executive Vice President and Secretary of NV5, will become the Chief Human Resources Officer.

These changes come at a critical juncture for Acuren, as the company continues to integrate NV5, a $1.7 billion acquisition that closed after the end of the second quarter 2025. The merger has expanded Acuren's service offerings, particularly in geospatial and engineering capabilities, and has significantly increased its debt load [1].

The appointment of Richard Tong and MaryJo O'Brien signals a strategic move to leverage the expertise gained from NV5's operations. Richard Tong brings extensive legal experience, having previously served as General Counsel at NV5, while MaryJo O'Brien's background as an Executive Vice President and Secretary at NV5 underscores her ability to lead human resources initiatives in a large, complex organization.

Acuren's second quarter 2025 results, released on August 14, 2025, showed GAAP revenue of $313.9 million, exceeding analyst estimates by $5.5 million and up 1.5% year-over-year. However, Adjusted EBITDA dropped approximately 7.6% year-over-year to $54.6 million, reflecting increased expenses related to the merger and higher costs tied to transforming the business [1].

Management did not provide updated financial guidance for the third quarter or fiscal 2025, citing the need to complete the NV5 integration and prepare updated forecasts. This measured approach reflects the company's focus on integrating NV5 and setting new targets for the combined entity.

The executive changes and the ongoing merger integration will be closely watched by investors. The absence of explicit financial guidance means near-term uncertainty will persist until management provides post-merger updates and sets new targets.
