I help AEC leaders scale intentionally with less complexity, more agility, and greater impact.
Growth changes the nature of leadership. Decisions carry more weight. Complexity increases. Too often, leaders find themselves navigating it alone.
I work with founders, owners, and senior leaders across the architecture, engineering, and construction (“AEC”) industry who want to scale intentionally, reduce unnecessary complexity, and lead with greater clarity and confidence. My work is shaped by experience on both sides of the table, as an operator responsible for results and as an advisor supporting leaders through growth and transition.
As a professional engineer, business owner, and former senior executive, I bring a pragmatic, thoughtfully candid perspective to the real challenges AEC leaders face as complexity increases. The goal is not growth for growth’s sake, but clarity, alignment, and the ability to do simple better at each stage of the journey.
My perspective is informed by more than two decades of work across engineering, construction, consulting, and real estate development.
I have supported leaders through growth, operational change, and transition, including organizational scaling, acquisitions, and complex development projects. That experience informs a steady, pragmatic approach focused on clarity, alignment, and long-term impact.
As organizations grow, clarity becomes harder to maintain. Priorities compete, decisions slow, and execution can drift.
I work with leaders to clarify vision, align priorities, and translate strategy into practical, actionable direction. The focus is disciplined decision-making, operational clarity, and reducing unnecessary complexity across the organization.
Growth exposes misalignment. Communication becomes less clear, roles blur, and leadership teams feel the strain.
I support leaders in strengthening alignment, improving communication, and navigating complexity with confidence. The work centers on clarity, accountability, and creating space for leadership teams to operate effectively together.
Periods of transition require disciplined thinking and steady perspective. The cost of missteps increases as complexity rises.
I advise leaders through moments of change, including restructuring, succession, acquisitions, and integration. The focus is thoughtful planning, clear decision-making, and protecting long-term impact through transition.
If you are navigating growth, transition, or increasing complexity and want a trusted perspective alongside you, I invite you to reach out.
The first conversation is simply that, a conversation.
