After decades of building some of the most complex construction projects across industries and continents, I’ve taken time to reflect on the leadership journey that’s brought me here. From semiconductors to steel, from classrooms to communities, I’ve always believed in building with purpose. Here is my biography.

Independent Validation and Verification (IV&V) plays a critical role in rescuing faltering projects by providing an objective, outside perspective focused on identifying systemic management deficiencies rather than assigning blame. Drawing on years of experience with both government and commercial entities, including roles as a legal expert witness, the IV&V examiner conducts confidential evaluations to uncover root causes of a project’s failure to meet its Objectives and Key Requirements (OKRs). Through structured, non-confrontational engagements with project leadership and teams, the process emphasizes constructive dialogue and organizational self-awareness. The ultimate goal is to offer leadership a clear roadmap for addressing project challenges—often involving strategic shifts in resources, personnel, or management expertise—to realign struggling initiatives with their intended outcomes.
