Barry Broadus will retire from ICF on March 1 and James Morgan is slated to become chief operating and financial officer, while Anne Choate is being promoted to president.
ICF has undertaken a series of leadership changes in its C-level executive team that will go into effect during the first quarter of next year, including the pending retirement of Chief Financial Officer Barry Broadus.
The company said Thursday that Broadus will step down from the CFO role on March 1 after three years in it and a four-decade career in finance. His career includes stints as CFO for Dovel Technologies, SRI International, Constellis and Alion Science and Technology.
James Morgan, ICF’s chief operating officer since 2020, will take on the role of chief operating and financial officer. Morgan previously worked as CFO from 2012 to 2020 and will continue to focus on the company’s business infrastructure and operational aspects, which are within his COO responsibilities.
Alongside the CFO duty transition, Anne Choate will move up to president at the start of 2026 from her current title of executive vice president. She leads ICF’s work in the energy, environment and infrastructure, and disaster recovery markets.
Those parts of ICF’s portfolio accounts for roughly 50% of its revenue mix and includes the commercial energy practice, which the company touts as having grown at a double-digit rate over the past several years.
ICF has also gradually expanded its acquisition pipeline to that sector, highlighted by the purchase in January of Applied Energy Group to bring in more grid management expertise.
Now as president, Choate will oversee ICF’s four client-facing groups and its business development organization. The 30-year company veteran is also tasked to lead the expansion of how it uses technology and artificial intelligence in client delivery.
