Many years managing IBM Real Estate in Canada, including Data Centres, has given me a fairly rounded perspective regarding such an important investment. Sustainability and environmental responsibility are playing an ever increasing role in decision making and reliability. My experience in owner managing the construction of Waste Treatment Plants, high rise office towers and software development labs has nurtured a desire to always find a better way to get the job done. I love it when someone tells me "it can't be done"!Such large and complex projects are never done alone. Assembling and motivating the right team and securing the right products for the job from so many options has been key to my success.I have owner managed office refit and major construction projects up to $100M. I'm an advocate of good process and tight contracts that set expectations out clearly for all concerned.Post IBM, I was an entrepreneur in 3 different companies and learned a lot about how to move the ball forward in adverse and diverse circumstances. Cold calls, networking, sales strategies and marketing are now my focus to create awareness of Interstitial.
