Baker Appoints David L. DeNinno to Board of Directors

Attorney David L. DeNinno has joined the board of directors of Michael Baker Corporation, increasing the board of the Moon-based firm to 10 members, according to a statement from the company.

Since February 2012, DeNinno has been senior vice president, general counsel and secretary at Wabtec Corp. Previously, he served as a partner at the K&L Gates LLP law firm, and prior to that served as a partner at Reed Smith LLP.

He also has been one of Baker’s principal outside legal advisors for more than 20 years and has more than 30 years of experience as a strategic advisor, business counselor and lawyer to businesses of similar scope and size as the engineering, design and construction firm.

Born in Pittsburgh, DeNinno holds a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Virginia. He received his juris doctorate in 1981 from George Washington University.

Baker board Chairman Richard L. Shaw said DeNinno is familiar with the company's business, operations and personnel.

"We believe that his experience in regulatory compliance, financing matters and risk management will enable him to be a valuable contributor to our Board deliberations,” Shaw said in a statement.
