Working in an industry where things are done the way they have always been done, it was hard to imagine change actually happening. Especially when coming from an industry where processes, innovation, and new technology were a driving factor to making a difference. I never wanted to settle for “what is,” but push the boundaries to see “what can be.” This pushed me to make leveraging technology to help redefine processes and make a positive difference in the industry one of my goals. That’s when I was introduced to VEC — a company whose vision aligned with mine, a company that gave me a voice to make the change I wanted to see, a company that wants to truly make a difference in this world.
One of my proudest moments working on a project at VEC was when the onsite team came together, collaborated, and produced an innovative solution to a problem a customer was having on their job site. The team and the technology were deployed onsite and the solution was then successfully executed, saving the customer time and money. This solution was then added to our suite of onsite services and has been utilized on multiple projects since then.
Being invited to the company retreat in Lake Tahoe within my first week of joining the company. This gave me the opportunity to meet everyone and witness firsthand how each employee and their family were appreciated by VEC. It was at this moment I knew VEC was where I belonged.

I’ve had a chance over the last decade plus to engage with owners, builders, and designers on projects all over the world. One key insight is that many of the challenges are shared by each stakeholder group, but they are approaching solutions from a different perspective. I bring a unique and broad industry perspective that will help our clients work better together as effective teams across the supply chain by bringing clarity to the challenges they face and driving innovative solutions that position VEC as a trusted partner. My background in data and AI also brings a perspective on the importance of data governance and standardization, which becomes increasingly important as more of the industry adopts cutting-edge tools. My hope is to leverage this expertise to modernize and streamline VEC’s operations internally, and to deliver value to our clients to help the best build better.
VEC was built on innovation from the start. Our proven track record of using advanced technology solutions to deliver real-world value for projects doesn’t need to be reinvented, because the strong foundation is there. But we need to evolve, and help our client evolve with us. Innovation is in our DNA, and that necessitates change and growth as technology evolves. We are in a period of unprecedented change across the industry and the world at large, and my goal is to build systems and processes that will allow us to stay ahead of the curve. The opportunity for the next phase of growth at VEC is to expand our breadth and our depth to deliver value to our clients across the entire project lifecycle.
