James Bruce, Buro Happold鈥檚 chief operating and financial officer, said Scott would speed up the firm鈥檚 adoption and integration of digital technologies into its work.

As well as WSP, Scott (pictured) has worked in lead technology roles at Arup and Atkins, while he also headed up IT group strategy at Lloyd鈥檚 of London and its architecture team.

Schemes Buro Happold has recently been working on include the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium, which recently hosted its first two NFL American football games earlier this month under a 10 year deal to host two NFL matches a year at the ground.
