Ryan Linthicum to Succeed David Gockel as Langan CEO
After a two-year succession search, Langan has tapped 30-year company veteran Ryan Linthicum to serve as its next chief executive officer. Starting January 1, 2027, Linthicum will take the helm of the engineering firm, while outgoing CEO David T. Gockel transitions into a dedicated role as executive chair.
His leadership history includes establishing regional offices in Washington, D.C., Arlington, and Richmond. As he prepares to become the third CEO in the firm’s history, Linthicum inherits a consultancy that now employs 2,500 professionals across 60 global locations. Gockel, who oversaw the transition process, cited Linthicum’s integrity and deep institutional knowledge as the primary drivers behind his selection to lead the company’s ongoing national growth.
