Business Wire
The Board of Directors of LMI, a consulting firm providing
professional, administrative and managerial support services to the
Federal government, announced today that the Honorable Nelson M.
Ford notified the Board of his intention to relinquish his
responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of LMI.
Ford expects to retire in the spring of 2017. He will continue his
current responsibilities until a new CEO is selected. Michael A.
Daniels, chairman of the board, is leading the board’s search
committee. LMI retained Heidrick & Struggles to help identify
the successor. The board expects to consider both internal and
external candidates for the position.
Mr. Ford, formerly the Under Secretary of the Army, has been the
president and CEO of LMI since 2009, simultaneously joining the
Board when he became the company’s eleventh president. Under his
leadership, LMI has grown significantly, expanding its regional
presence and broadening its capabilities in the Federal market.
Known for its independence, LMI has also received multiple “small
business partner” and “best place to work” awards during his
tenure.
"As I reflect on more than eight years with LMI, I'm immensely
proud of what we have accomplished. Our revenues have grown as the
market has contracted," said Ford. “We’ve modernized the business,
moved our headquarters and enhanced our reputation. But I’m most
proud of our people, more than 1200 professionals who get up every
morning committed to making government work better. It is this
commitment to our mission – improving the management of government
– that separates LMI from our competitors. LMI’s future is bright
and it rests on this foundation. I’ve been privileged to be a part
of this extraordinary organization."
"The Board is grateful to Nelson for his exceptional service to
LMI. LMI has helped our government clients design and implement new
ways to address their most perplexing challenges for over 55
years,” Daniels said. “Under Nelson's leadership, we have refined
our strategy, enabling LMI's growth and enhancing our reputation in
the market. As a Board, we've enjoyed a terrific working
relationship with Nelson. His commitment to improving the
management of government and to our people is unequaled. We wish
Nelson the very best in whatever challenges he decides to tackle
next.”
“The Board is committed to conducting a thorough search to
identify the right candidate to serve as LMI's next CEO and will
complete the search as expeditiously as possible."
