“There is a massive void in effective Owner-centric cost management services for construction projects; my RICS designation assures stakeholders that I am qualified to implement cost management programs.

As President and part owner of Gleeds Americas, I spend most of my time managing the firm, advising on construction management and building new relationships.

Through my membership in RICS Americas and my participation in the RICS Global Project Management Directorate, I actively contribute my recommendations for strengthening the industry and interact with other professionals in the field from around the world”.
