OHM Advisors President Jon Kramer Featured in Forbes: A Case for Career Loyalty
Forbes recently published an article titled “The Case for Career Loyalty: Lessons from Three Decades at One Company,” featuring Jon Kramer, president of OHM Advisors.
In the article, Jon shares his perspective on the value of growing alongside one organization—and what it takes to lead with intention, adaptability, and vision over the long haul.
Drawing on experiences such as the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic, Jon makes a compelling case that long-term leadership, rooted in trust and institutional knowledge, can be a powerful foundation for effectively navigating change.
He reflects on how stability in leadership can foster bold decision-making and innovation, particularly in moments of uncertainty.
He challenges the idea that some people have that staying with one company means standing still.
During his tenure at OHM Advisors, the firm has grown from 80 employees in a single office to nearly 1,000 people across multiple states. Jon has helped lead the firm’s evolution to meet the changing demands of the architecture, engineering and planning industry.
This evolution includes his willingness to embrace new technology, prioritize sustainable solutions and foster a people-first culture.
For Jon, leadership isn't about climbing the ladder for its own sake or micromanaging from the top. It's about developing future leaders, staying true to OHM’s core values, and making thoughtful decisions that contribute to lasting impact.
