As the Vice President of Mechanical, Electrical, and IT Systems (MEiT) at EllisDon, I lead our development of asset-enhancing building systems and technologies and the procurement of MEP equipment for smart buildings. EllisDon’s entrepreneurial culture recognizes the value of MEiT’s role and that means I’ve had the leeway to push the envelope of what is possible in our field.By being fearless as well as innovative, my group has positively affected the outcomes of smaller jobs and dramatically increased the value of massive projects. Most recently, we successfully completed work on six major data centres, Kingston’s Providence Care Hospital, and Oakville’s transformative world-class hospital (Oakville Trafalgar Memorial).Our industry’s future lies in its ability to connect communities, use sustainable technology, and reduce energy consumption. So, I work closely with the heads of EllisDon’s Information, Communication, Automation and Technology and Sustainable Building Services groups to lead the advancement of smart, sustainable, MEiT systems that will realize this future.
