This move comes in the wake of the company experiencing remarkable triple-digit growth over the past five years, a testament to its evolving market presence and capacity to tackle complex projects across the nation.
A Proven Leader in the Industry

With more than two decades of experience, he has played pivotal roles in building, scaling, and leading businesses in the staffing and consulting sectors, particularly in the utility and heavy infrastructure domains. His career has been marked by a strong focus on talent management, human capital services, mergers and acquisitions, and value creation within private equity-backed firms.
Before joining Arora, Simmerly was a key figure in the founding leadership team of The Planet Group, where he held the position of President and later that of Chief Executive Officer. At The Planet Group—an organization providing consulting and human capital solutions—Simmerly significantly contributed to achieving impressive revenue growth and enhanced the company’s competitive edge in the market.
Notably, under his command, PFES, a subsidiary of The Planet Group catering to complex utility and energy infrastructure projects, achieved recognition as one of ENR's Top 50 Program Management Firms for several consecutive years, showcasing his acumen in steering organizations toward success.
Vision for the Future
In his new role as President of Arora, Simmerly will oversee global strategic, business, and operational initiatives aimed at elevating the company's capabilities, exploring new markets, and cementing Arora’s aspirations for the future. His approach to leadership emphasizes operational efficiency and a keen eye for business development, something he aims to implement at Arora.
