Mr. Coghlan joined EH&E in 1994 and has served alongside Dr. McCarthy as president & COO since 2021. In addition to Coghlan's executive responsibilities, he has led hundreds of indoor environmental investigations across the commercial, healthcare, higher education, life sciences, and manufacturing sectors and has served as a subject-matter expert in numerous studies and proceedings involving indoor environmental hazards.

McCarthy, Coghlan, and other EH&E thought leaders were among the first to employ multi-disciplinary approaches to solving complex indoor environmental issues. Its teams span environmental health, biosafety, industrial hygiene, risk assessment, building systems engineering, and data analytics fields. These professionals work in concert to identify and assess the root causes of complex environmental, occupational health, and building systems issues and design durable, scalable, and sustainable solutions that help create safer, healthier, and more productive environments.

"I have had the pleasure of working alongside Kevin Coghlan for over thirty years as both a technical colleague and executive peer," said McCarthy. "Kevin's demonstrated ability for strategic thinking, his technical knowledge, support of colleagues, and unwavering commitment to excellence make him exceptionally well-suited to assume the role of CEO. EH&E's leadership transition is now complete, and I am thrilled to hand over the reins."

"Jack McCarthy broke new ground in bringing under one roof the science of environmental health with the expertise of building systems engineering," said Coghlan. "To this day, we remain technical innovators thanks to the legacies that Jack and others leave behind. I am proud to continue to foster, along with my fellow employee-owners, such innovations to create safer, healthier environments where people and organizations thrive."
