About me
Welcome to my realm of hands-on and strategic expertise in construction, development, and operations. With an extensive 34-year background in the industry, I've finely tuned my skills to lead the seamless integration of design, construction, and real estate development projects. Specializing in mission-critical data centers for 28 years, my consulting practice is forward-focused, emphasizing data centers, clean energy initiatives, advanced technology, and AI.
In the past year, I had the pleasure of serving as the Director of Project Management at CBRE, collaborating with top-tier professionals at the world's largest real estate company, and working with a top financial firm like Morgan Stanley. Throughout my career, I've spearheaded the design, construction, and development of data center projects across the Americas for industry leaders such as Equinix.
