New York, New York, United States

About

I am a development and construction professional focused on the delivery of complex residential projects from an owner-side perspective. My work sits at the intersection of development operations, construction execution, and project readiness, with a particular focus on high-end and high-visibility urban residential environments. I am most effective where projects require sound judgment, disciplined coordination, and a clear understanding of how construction decisions affect design integrity, schedule, stakeholder confidence, and long-term value. My experience includes project delivery, turnover planning, punch and closeout strategy, consultant coordination, and cross-functional alignment across development, design, contractor, and operational teams. Over the course of my career, I have worked on major New York City projects where execution quality and readiness are essential not only to completion, but to market performance and buyer confidence. I care deeply about ensuring projects are not only built well, but delivered in a way that protects value and supports the broader goals of the asset.
