Chief Operating Officer to advance commercial relationship in China
Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that the U.S.-China
Business Council (USCBC) has elected Fluor’s Chief Operating Officer, Peter
Oosterveer, to its board. As a USCBC board member, Oosterveer will
work to advance the commercial relationship between the two countries to
support trade and investment opportunities.
Active in China since 1978, Fluor has successfully completed more than
280 projects across 20 provinces and municipalities for multinational
companies and China's state-owned enterprises, delivering a full range
of project management, engineering, procurement, fabrication and
construction services.
“As one of the world’s fastest growing economies, China is an important
market for Fluor. We have more than 800 employees in the country
providing integrated solutions to support our clients’ growth
objectives,” Oosterveer said. “I look forward to promoting and building
the economic opportunities for all U.S.-based companies in China as a
member of the USCBC board.”
“I am delighted with the addition of Peter Oosterveer to the board,”
USCBC President John Frisbie said. “USCBC is privileged to have a board
comprised of many of America’s most talented business leaders. With
China representing a $350 billion market for American companies, it is
important to have a dynamic group of American business leaders,
including those from the engineering and construction sector, focused on
expanding the U.S.-China commercial relationship.”
Active since 1973, the USCBC
is a private, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization of approximately 220
American companies that do business with China. Its mission is to expand
the U.S.-China commercial relationship to the benefit of its membership
and, more broadly, the U.S. economy. Oosterveer joins senior business
leaders from leading global companies who serve as USCBC officers and
board members.
