About

As a senior international construction manager with 20+ years of multidisciplinary experience across the U.S. and Europe, I specialize in delivering high-value, technically complex projects in high-compliance environments. From structural design to large-scale façade systems and full project life cycle leadership, I’ve led multi-national teams through design, procurement, coordination, and delivery. Inspired by Simon Sinek, my leadership philosophy is grounded in the values of collaboration and accountability— supporting high-performing teams, transparent communication, and execution certainty. With experience in matrix organizations and working directly with executive stakeholders.
