ITASCA today announced the formation of ITASCA North America, combining its Minneapolis, Canada, and Denver teams to strengthen integrated, multi-disciplinary solutions across key sectors. The integration reflects growing demand for multidisciplinary problem solving that connects geomechanics, hydrogeology, and engineering geology early and effectively.
“For decades, our clients have trusted ITASCA to solve problems that do not fit neatly into one discipline,” said Tryana Garza-Cruz, General Manager of ITASCA North America and Principal Geomechanics Engineer. “This next step strengthens how we deliver that value in North America by connecting technical expertise, practical engineering judgment, advanced numerical modeling, and software innovation to achieve better client outcomes.”
Client relationships, project teams, and primary contacts remain unchanged, and ongoing work and deadlines will continue without interruption. Clients will continue to receive strong local support. The formation of ITASCA North America will directly benefit clients through integrated expertise spanning geomechanics, hydrogeology, and engineering geology, advanced modeling backed by practical engineering judgment, a distinctive consulting and software-development model, and faster access to expertise across regions and disciplines.
“This reflects how our clients already engage with ITASCA, as one firm with global expertise,” said Jonny Sjöberg, Chief Executive Officer of ITASCA International. “By aligning our North American operations, we can respond faster, collaborate more effectively, and deliver even stronger outcomes without disrupting the relationships our clients depend on.”
ITASCA North America is led by Dr. Tryana Garza-Cruz, whose leadership and technical experience reflect ITASCA’s long-standing commitment to engineering excellence, innovation, and client-focused delivery. The formation positions the company to better support increasingly complex challenges across mining, civil infrastructure, energy, and environmental projects by making it easier to connect disciplines and deliver integrated solutions grounded in science, engineering, and innovation, while continuing to deliver the high-touch, relationship-driven service clients expect.
“At its core, this change is about strengthening our ability to serve our clients,” added Garza-Cruz. “We are building on what already works—trusted relationships and technical excellence—while making it easier for clients to access the full depth of ITASCA.”
