HNTB’s Laura Mohr named 2018 Woman of Influence by L.A. Biz

HNTB Corporation’s Laura Mohr has been recognized by L.A. Biz as a 2018 Woman of Influence. The distinction recognizes 24 local women who have succeeded professionally and made an impact on their communities.

Mohr joined HNTB in 2015 as vice president and rail and transit group director in the Los Angeles office. With 30 years of industry experience in the planning, design and construction of public transportation projects, Mohr continues to build on her impressive career with engineering achievements globally and locally.

A graduate of Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering, Mohr is a registered civil engineer in California where she has had leading roles in major infrastructure improvement projects for Southern California’s transportation system.

In 2017, Mohr became a leader in the SPARK LA program, a collaboration between HNTB and the Los Angeles Board of Public Works. In its second year at Los Angeles Unified School District’s all-girls school – the Girls Academic Leadership Academy, Dr. Michelle King School for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – SPARK LA helps support the school’s STEM curriculum, which aims to attract more female students to pursue degrees and professions where females traditionally are underrepresented.

“Laura is a talented professional who engages and inspires students with opportunities that challenge them to think critically and build on their leadership skills, so they focus their education to take advantage of the market that awaits them in STEM-related fields,” said Art Hadnett, West Division president, HNTB. “Laura is developing the next generation of STEM leaders. This honor reinforces that she is making a difference in the lives and careers of countless young females and serves as an excellent role model for all professional women.”
