About

With over 25 of experience in the construction industry, I am a seasoned professional with a passion for delivering high-quality projects that meet the needs of clients and stakeholders. My core competencies include project management, capital expenditure planning, manufacturing process improvement, and business development. As the executive Vice President of Cumming Group, I oversee the day-to-day operations of North American advanced technologies , and lead a team of talented consultants who provide strategic and technical solutions for complex projects in various sectors, including life science, healthcare, education, and hospitality. Before joining Cumming Group, I was the Vice President of Life Science at McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., where I was responsible for expanding the company's capabilities and portfolio in the cGMP facility market in Southern California. I successfully led the pursuit and execution of a major greenfield clinical manufacturing facility, and managed the project from inception to completion, ensuring that it met the highest standards of quality, safety, and compliance. I leveraged my skills in capital expenditure planning, project planning, and manufacturing process improvement to deliver a state-of-the-art facility that exceeded the client's expectations and objectives.
