Managed $4M to $6m in projects annually in the Greater NYC Metro area. Collaborated with national marketing teams to increase profit. Developed project timelines and evaluated critical paths. Collaborated with clients and consultants to value engineer and resolve design challenges. Conducted financial & technical reviews on projects at initiation and completion.
