Operations Council

SGS is led by a dynamic group of individuals with many years of experience in their respective fields.

We are organized into lines of business and we operate across different geographic regions. Each business is led by an executive vice president, and each region is led by a chief operating officer. The Operations Council comprises the executive vice presidents, chief operating officers and functional senior vice presidents, as well as the group’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and general counsel. They meet regularly throughout the year to determine group-wide strategies and priorities, and review performance.
