DeSimone Announces New Managing Principal, Global Promotions
Company Promotes 45 Employees Across US and International Offices
NEW YORK, NY, July 25, 2024 ― Global engineering services leader DeSimone Consulting Engineering has announced a new round of promotions, including the appointment of structural engineer, Mark B. Plechaty, P.E., as a Managing Principal.
Team members from across DeSimone’s international offices earned advancement as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to recognizing and rewarding dedicated, outstanding effort, nurturing employees’ growth and development, and supporting the well-being of the entire DeSimone team.
“Mark Plechaty’s talent in developing innovative structural engineering design solutions and managing some of the firm’s largest and most complex projects has been critical to the success of countless iconic buildings from NYC to the UAE,” said Stephen DeSimone, Chairman and CEO of DeSimone Consulting Engineering. “His astute, affable, and highly effective leadership style has inspired those around him and earned him the respect of every client and project team he’s worked with. It is with pleasure that we announce his promotion.”
Plechaty has played a major role in the company’s growth since joining the structural engineering practice in 1995, having devoted much of his professional career to DeSimone. He was named a firm Principal in 2019 in recognition of his project achievements, and contributions to management and the company’s ongoing growth trajectory.
Most recently, Plechaty led the award-winning office-to-residential conversion of the landmarked One Wall Street tower in Manhattan. He currently leads the structural design team for the reimagining and revitalization of the historic One Times Square into a premier tourist destination, as well as the transformation of the historic, block-long Terminal Warehouse into a mixed-use office complex, both in Manhattan.
A registered professional engineer, Plechaty has overseen the design and project management of numerous other tall towers in New York City, including the award-winning skyscrapers at 125 Greenwich Street and 111 Murray in Lower Manhattan, and the Skyline Tower in Long Island City.
While based in DeSimone’s Abu Dhabi office, Plechaty directed overseas operations in the United Arab Emirates for four years. His work there included such projects as the 48-story Emirates Pearl Hotel, the Al Maryah Office Tower, the Special Security Hospital, and the Zayed Military Hospital.
The ample array of newly announced promotions stands as a bellwether of DeSimone’s growth and success, reflecting a broad level of excellence and achievement across the organization—from human resources and IT to emerging and experienced engineering talent—and affirming the contributions and quality effort team members have made to the company and its clients.
