Completing a 120-unit hotel and restaurant shell 5½ months ahead of project schedule is a significant accomplishment but only one of many, which I have successfully handled during my career in various senior-level property management and commercial construction management positions. If your future operation planning goals are consistent with having this type of result, you may be interested in my background.
My broad-based career has given me hands-on knowledge of implementing Lean process methodologies, negotiating licensee agreements, and reducing construction cycle time with specialization in managing multi-million dollar commercial construction projects, and conceptual project cost estimating. Perhaps more important is my ability to evaluate company/client needs, and then develop a solution that meets those needs. A few notable accomplishments include:
Identifying and quantifying corporate goal and control
Establishing unified corporate wide processes and procedures for $2.1 B development firm
Management of multiple properties while overseeing new, ongoing projects
My in-depth logistical planning, management of personnel, and U.S. green building knowledge, as well as my project leadership ability, and capacity to successfully achieve objectives will contribute to the further success of any business initiatives undertaken by your organization.
When it comes to something as important as hiring a Construction Executive- Partner words on paper are no substitute for people speaking with people. So let me suggest a next step. I’d like to get on your calendar in a few days so that we can explore how I can serve your needs.
