• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills, equally effective in C-suite boardrooms, with project teams, and on project sites.

• Process Discipline: Skilled in documentation, budgeting, timeline and deliverable tracking with a process-driven mindset.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, electronics, or a business/technical field preferred; equivalent progressive experience considered.
