About Our Founder

After gaining professional experience at a large engineering firm, Mr. Nannu Nobis founded Nobis Group in 1988 to address the demand for high-value integrated engineering services with a personal commitment to each client.

life outside of nobis

In 2021, Nannu retired and completed his vision of selling Nobis Group to the employees of Nobis and directing the Nobis leadership team to continue on with the Nobis Group legacy as a 100 percent employee-owned company. Since that time, Nannu has found more time to enjoy his many hobbies. He is an avid photographer, hiker, world traveler, and recently has also taken up watercolor painting and Food Network inspired cooking! He enjoys hiking in NH’s White Mountains, he recently completed a hiking trip in Washington State’s Northern Cascades and has also hiked portions of the “El Camino de Santiago” (the Way of St James) in Spain. Nannu is passionate about giving back to his community and has served on many non-profit boards over many years including Chairperson of ACEC New Hampshire, the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, Granite United Way, New Hampshire Public Radio, Early Learning NH, and most recently the Kimball Jenkins School of Art in Concord, New Hampshire.
