Leadership changes include Lawler’s promotion to President, Jennifer Isett’s election as Board Chair, and Kevin Campbell’s continued role as CEO
Barry Isett & Associates Inc. (Isett) is entering a new era of leadership with the appointment of Andrew Lawler as President, effective September 1. Lawler, a seasoned executive with a distinguished background in both military and civilian sectors, succeeds Kevin Campbell, PE, LEED AP, who will continue to serve as CEO after two decades of dedicated service and strategic leadership at the firm.
Campbell has played a pivotal role in its growth and success. His continued leadership as CEO will ensure a smooth transition and sustained strategic direction.
Lawler joined Isett in 2024 as Chief Operating Officer, bringing with him more than 25 years of leadership experience across military, engineering and construction sectors. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, he served as a KC-130 pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps, including multiple combat deployments. His civilian career includes leadership roles at Lutron Electronics, VEC Inc. and West Side Hammer Electric, where he drove strategic growth and cultural transformation.
“I’m honored to step into the role of president and continue building on the strong foundation that Kevin and the leadership team have established,” said Lawler. “Isett’s commitment to community, innovation and excellence is what drew me here, and I’m excited to help lead the firm into its next chapter.”
“Andrew has quickly become a trusted leader at Isett, and his promotion to President is a natural next step,” said Campbell. “His strategic mindset, collaborative approach and dedication to our mission make him the right person to guide our team forward. I’m excited to continue working alongside him as CEO.”
Under Campbell’s leadership, Isett has expanded its geographic footprint, diversified its service offerings and strengthened its culture of collaboration and community engagement. Lawler’s promotion signals a continued focus on strategic growth and operational excellence.
In addition to Lawler’s promotion, the firm announced a historic governance transition with the election of Jennifer Isett, Vice President of Business Operations, as Chair of the Board. Jennifer succeeds her father, Barry Isett, the company’s founder, who will step down from his role as Board Chair and assume the honorary title of Chair Emeritus. Her appointment marks a meaningful continuation of the Isett legacy and a forward-looking step for the firm. As part of this transition, Barry Isett appointed Kevin Campbell to the board, further reinforcing the company’s leadership continuity.
These transitions mark a new chapter in Isett’s continued growth and commitment to excellence in engineering and community engagement.
