May, 2025
Otak welcomes the leadership of Craig Recob, instituting a client-centered approach that melds people, brainpower, and technology to support big ideas.
We’re happy to announce the addition of Craig Recob as chief financial officer, with an eye on expanding our market presence and building client relationships of the highest quality.
“Craig brings a strong strategic financial lens that will be instrumental as we continue to grow and evolve. His deep experience in scaling operations and guiding organizational finance will help us make smarter, more agile decisions across the board.”
– Scott Dreher, Chief Operations Officer
Craig has more than 30 years of experience across a variety of industries, including the AEC space. On the way to joining Otak, Craig was chief financial officer at Farallon Consulting LLC where he guided the growth of their primarily west-coast based environmental consulting practice. There he was instrumental in building teams, establishing business systems and processes, and growing the firm via acquisition. Prior to that, Craig cut his teeth in the technology sector, holding senior finance positions at Voyager Capital, Intellectual Ventures, Kymeta Corporation, and L4 Digital. It was in these roles that he gained an appreciation and deep interest in entrepreneurial spirit and placing an emphasis on people’s ideas. After leading creative financial solutions at these companies, it’s that same energy that he hopes to bring to the growth of Otak, across its diverse set of markets and revenue streams.
“It’s about plugging into new ideas and melding technology with professional services for more efficient and optimized delivery. I’m excited to bring those worlds together.”
– Craig Recob, Chief Financial Officer
For Craig, it all comes back to the old mantra of being “on-time, on-budget, and within scope.” By melding technology and professional services, he’s excited to find new, creative ways to meet that principle for internal and external stakeholders alike. Being comfortable with taking risks, optimizing business processes, and leveraging tools that deliver data more efficiently to teams in a way that enhances decision-making is all part of his client service mentality. His vision also includes testing different approaches to pricing and project delivery, all in the name of efficiency, client satisfaction, and growth of revenue and operating income.
We look forward to the impact Craig will bring to the organization and our work improving communities.
