McMillen has appointed Merry Dang as its Market Lead for Canada, a move the company says will support its expanding work in the country’s water and hydropower infrastructure sector.

Dang brings more than 20 years of experience in client relations and over a decade in hydropower, dam engineering, and nuclear energy. In her new role, she will guide McMillen’s Canadian market strategy and serve as a local point of connection between clients and the firm’s technical teams.

Throughout her career, Dang has worked in market development, client engagement, and partnership building for infrastructure projects across Canada. She is also active in several industry organizations, including the Canadian Dam Association, Ontario Waterpower Association, WaterPower Canada, and the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD).

Reflecting on her new position, Dang said: “I’m excited to join McMillen and work with a team that’s fully focused on water resources. Our firm’s niche expertise, combined with the right people on every project, allows us to provide clients with the most effective and sustainable solutions. McMillen’s values of prioritizing client needs, leveraging past work, and committing only to projects we can truly deliver, aligns perfectly with my goal of helping clients meet both their energy and sustainability objectives. I look forward to presenting our full range of services and supporting clients as they achieve success in Canada’s evolving water and hydropower sector.”

McMillen says Dang’s industry involvement and experience will help the company respond to growth in Canada’s hydropower and infrastructure sectors.

Marissa Emmons, McMillen’s Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Growth, said the hire builds on the firm’s work in the region. “For more than a decade, we have had the privilege of working in Canada, building strong relationships and delivering impactful results. With Merry joining our team, we are excited to further expand our presence and enhance the ways we contribute to Canada’s dynamic and growing market.”
