AUSTIN, Texas, December 7, 2021 — Aurigo Software, North America’s leading capital planning and construction management software company, announced that it had established an industry strategy group to help infrastructure owners.

Aurigo’s Industry strategy group, headed by Mike Tooley, former Director of Montana DOT, today announced the appointments of Jennifer Cohan, former transportation secretary, Delaware DOT, and Tim Pratt, former technology leader, City of Lincoln, Nebraska. The group advises public agencies across America on the most optimal technology implementation and business strategies that support the newly passed $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

“We’re excited to bring on board two industry heavyweights in Jennifer Cohan and Tim Pratt to support our industry strategy group headed by Mike Tooley, a well-known infrastructure leader,” said Balaji Sreenivasan founder and CEO of Aurigo Software. “Together, the group brings with it over eight decades of public sector experience helping Aurigo’s customers maximize the impact of our historic infrastructure bill.”
