New Director of Environmental Programs Joins BGS
Oak Ridge, Tennessee-March 6, 2024 – Boston Government Services, LLC (BGS), headquartered in Oak Ridge, TN, has a new Director of Environmental Programs, a continued area of focus for BGS.
Maria Elena Crespo brings over 26 years of distinguished leadership, management, and communication expertise, particularly within the nuclear and environmental sectors. She has significant experience in a variety of roles both within the Department of Energy (DOE) and the private sector. Her expertise includes policy development, environmental regulations, and program/project management.
“Her skills line up perfectly with our continued and expanding focus on environmental issues,” said BGS Founder and CEO Dr. Harry Boston. “We are excited to have her on board and believe she can, among other things, find ways to expand and enhance environmental work both for existing clients and new business.”
“I am eager to expand BGS footprint across the DOE Complex in the Environmental Programs and as such, enhance DOE’s mission,” said Crespo. “When I was approached, I was immediately interested, even though I had been with my previous company for 16 years; the job was appealing to me, in part because I understood the Program (Naval Reactors) and had been supporting the EM – NR Program since its inception. I am looking forward to assuming my new role.”
BGS was founded in 2007 and employs more than 200 engineers in at least 5 different locations. It has been named a Top 50 Department of Energy contractor. It is now owned by Bernhard Capital Partners.
