Jacobs CEO Bob Pragada: Positioned across the entire infrastructure ecosystem

On “The Claman Countdown,” Bob discusses the growing demand for infrastructure across today’s most capital-intensive industries

Jacobs Chair and CEO Bob Pragada joined Liz Claman on Fox Business Network’s “The Claman Countdown” to discuss the company’s strong momentum and central presence across some of today’s fastest-growing and most capital-intensive industries, including artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure buildout, advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and critical energy, transportation and water systems.

During the interview, Bob pointed to growing demand for Jacobs’ services across the full AI infrastructure lifecycle — from semiconductor manufacturing and data center design and engineering to the energy and water systems required to enable reliable, large-scale digital operations.  

“Jacobs is across the entire AI ecosystem,” Bob said, noting the company’s strength lies in our cross‑cutting capabilities to deliver complex systems that depend on integrated energy, water and other critical infrastructure.

Speaking shortly after the company announced its second quarter fiscal year earnings, Bob also discussed our Life Sciences work and the continued momentum in the GLP-1 market. 

He emphasized that Jacobs is deeply immersed in the technology revolution, working alongside long-term clients as a trusted partner to deliver the physical infrastructure required to support today’s accelerating pace of innovation and digital demand.
