Darren Blue

The buyer's perspective, now leading the builder.

Darren Blue leads JS Global as one company. He directs the Construction and Design practices under a single leadership team and a single standard of delivery.

Darren J. Blue serves as Chief Executive Officer of JS Global and Atlantic Design Group and has since April 2026, leading enterprise strategy, operations, business development, and growth. He brings more than 30 years of leadership experience spanning mission critical infrastructure, real estate, construction, public private partnerships, and complex government operations.

Before JS Global, Mr. Blue served as Group President of Mission Critical Services at CBRE, leading a global platform across infrastructure and energy, government and defense, healthcare, and related real estate services. Earlier at CBRE he was Sector President for Infrastructure, Defense and Public Enterprise, where he helped lead the integration of a major strategic acquisition.

He previously served in the federal Senior Executive Service as Regional Commissioner for the U.S. General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service in the National Capital Region, managing approximately one quarter of the federal government's real estate portfolio, more than 105 million square feet and over $30 billion in assets, with significant annual contracting authority. His public sector career also included senior leadership roles with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the Executive Office of the President.

Mr. Blue began his career in the U.S. Army, serving in infantry, special operations, and intelligence assignments, and continues to serve as an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve. He earned a Master of Science from the National Defense University's Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy, where he was recognized as a Distinguished Graduate, and a Bachelor of Arts from George Mason University.

Mr. Blue was a buyer of the services JS Global provides, so he knows the client side: contracting methods, compliance requirements, and budget constraints. He gives a cohesive leadership team and a transparent culture the same priority as financial performance.
