DENVER, CO — Atlas Technical Consultants (Atlas) is proud to announce that two of its leaders have been recognized by Engineering Georgia magazine in the 2025 edition of its annual “Women to Know” features.
Alexandra Davis, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Services Lead, has been named to the “35 Under 35 Women to Know” list. Selected by ACEC Georgia’s 100 Influential Women in Engineering Committee, this recognition celebrates the next generation of leaders shaping Georgia’s engineering landscape.
Davis brings an unconventional background to environmental policy work. She joined Atlas in 2019 as an archaeologist, after completing archaeological excavations in Malawi, Africa, where her team uncovered 8,000-year-old remains and sequenced the second-oldest human DNA in Africa. Her archaeological training in documentation and site analysis translated well to NEPA environmental reviews within her first year at the company.
In her current role, Davis leads environmental compliance for more than 75 transportation projects across Georgia, manages nine Georgia Department of Transportation bridge replacement projects and has led environmental reviews for major infrastructure initiatives, including the Courtesy Parkway Extension Project in Rockdale County.
Sally Riker, F.SAME, Vice President of Strategy and Growth for the Southeast Region, has once again been named one of the “100 Influential Women in Georgia Engineering.” Riker joined Atlas in 2024 and has been recognized on this list annually since 2018.
Riker has more than 25 years of architecture, engineering and construction industry experience. A Fellow in the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME), she was honored with the President’s Medal in 2022 and currently serves on SAME’s Foundation Board. She served as the 2024 Chair of the Council for Quality Growth and continues to serve on its Executive Committee as past Chair. Riker also serves as an ambassador on the University of Georgia’s Board of Visitors and was appointed to the Women’s Leadership Initiative Global Leadership Committee for the Urban Land Institute of the Americas in 2021.
Riker is a member of the Gwinnett Chamber Board of Directors and is active in the local community as President of the Morningside-Peachtree Hills Neighborhood Civic Association, serving one of the largest neighborhoods in Buckhead (Atlanta).
Riker was recognized as one of Georgia’s 500 Most Influential Leaders by Georgia Trend in 2022 and named Women Who Mean Business by the Atlanta Business Chronicle in 2020.
“Atlas attracts the best and the brightest. We are pleased to celebrate Sally and Alexandra being recognized for their many contributions to the industry and the state of Georgia, specifically,” says Atlas CEO Jacque Hinman. “Their dedication, vision and impact reflect the values we strive to uphold across all levels of our organization and demonstrate the focus Atlas places on career growth and serving our clients with distinction.”
