SLR Strengthens Americas Leadership with Appointment of New Executive Director

SLR Consulting Ltd. is delighted to announce the appointment of Patrick Keaney as Executive Director, Americas.

Patrick will play a key role in advancing SLR’s strategic direction and driving market growth across Canada, the United States, and Latin America. With more than 30 years of leadership experience, he is an accomplished and inspiring leader with a strong technical background and client-centric, growth-oriented leadership style.

Patrick has a proven record of guiding large, multidisciplinary teams and business units in complex, matrixed environments across environmental consulting, water infrastructure, sustainability, and cloud-enabled technologies.

His career spans operational, strategic, and M&A roles, where he helped scale complex engineering and environmental consulting businesses on a global stage. He has also led sector-focused initiatives that applied cloud and emerging technologies to address critical challenges in the global water market. Most recently, as chief executive, he guided an organization through rapid expansion, driving the commercialization of smart water metering and water technologies while supporting significant growth and successful venture funding.

His background, combined with his collaborative and people focused approach, makes him a natural fit for SLR’s One Team culture and an ideal leader to guide the business through this next phase of geographic expansion and operational synergy.

When asked about his new role, Patrick said:

“I am thrilled to join the growing team in the Americas and excited to start working with the technical and commercial teams across Canada, the US and Latin America.

As a kid who grew up in Western Massachusetts, playing hockey and pursuing a passion for environmental engineering, I feel like I’m exactly where I need to be.”
