Forward Focus With Guest Andy Doctoroff of WSP

From Courtroom to Construction: Reinventing a Legal Career in Infrastructure

With special guest Andy Doctoroff, WSP

In this inspiring episode of Forward Focus, host Craig Zucker chats with Andrew “Andy” Doctoroff, an attorney turned senior infrastructure advisor, to share one of the most remarkable mid-career pivots you’ll ever hear about.

After decades as a commercial litigator, Andy made a bold choice at age 50: to leave private practice and enter public service. That decision led him to oversee Michigan’s role in the $4.7 billion Detroit-Windsor Gordie Howe International Bridge project, to work directly with Governor Snyder and later Governor Whitmer, and to eventually advise the U.S. Department of Transportation under Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

This episode offers wisdom on resilience, risk-taking, public service, and the importance of following your passion at any age.
