Dewberry has announced that Phil Thiel, executive vice president, has been named as a representative on Esri’s Partner Advisory Council (PAC). He will serve a three-year term.
Established in 2010, Esri’s PAC serves as a board of
directors for partnering at Esri. The esteemed community is offered to a select
number of partner thought leaders who meet rigorous criteria for nomination
including senior leadership in their organization, current engagement in Esri’s
partner ecosystem, a clear business strategy, and technology alignment with
Esri. PAC members are committed to being advocates for the community and
providing feedback and input on the strategic direction of the partner program
in order to optimize how partners do business with Esri.
“Our PAC members are carefully selected to serve a very
important role in our partner community,” says Robert Laudati, director of
Esri’s global partners and alliances. “As the voice of the Esri Partner
Network, they provide valuable input and act as a sounding board on the
development of our programs. I’m pleased to welcome Phil Thiel to this
position.”
Thiel serves as principal-in-charge for Dewberry’s major
geospatial contracts with the U.S. Geological Survey, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and numerous other federal
clients, providing services that include surveying, remote sensing, GIS, and IT
services. He has been with Dewberry nearly 20 years. Prior to Dewberry, Thiel
worked in academia and state government environments.
