About Joseph Brennan

Joseph Brennan, executive vice president and chief financial officer at Fluor, has described the company as offering employees the opportunity to have "nine different careers or 10 different careers within a 32-year span." In a September 2024 video, Brennan said he has "flipped back and forth from operations into finance into different levels of finance" and that the company provides opportunities "if you want to take them." He also stated that he would not give his younger self different advice, saying he made mistakes and had successes "from a position of curiosity and wanting to learn more." Brennan has a background in architecture and construction technology, having produced instructional videos on using Rhino, Grasshopper, and Revit for building information modeling. In a 2022 symposium on the New York City subway map, he argued that the PATH line could be added to the MTA map and described the Vignelli map as "the worst subway map," stating it is "not even topologically correct." Earlier in his career, Brennan served as president and CEO of the Connecticut Business & Industry Association, where he thanked Governor Ned Lamont for his leadership during the pandemic and emphasized the importance of public-private partnerships to address workforce challenges.

Hi, I'm Joe Brennan, Chief Financial Officer. When I talk about Fluor, I talk about the opportunity to have nine or 10 different careers within a 32-year span. I've flipped back and forth from operations into finance, into different levels of finance, different levels of operation, from running offices internationally, running offices domestically. It's a microcosm of 10 different careers working at Fluor, which I don't think I would have had the opportunity to get in other settings. That's what the company offers. It's there if you want to take it. I've made lifelong friends here. The people obviously make the difference, but the ability to experience this company from multiple different angles with different responsibilities and different expectations is a really good way to round out yourself and round out your view of the business. So it's easy for me to get excited about Fluor.
