What inspires you? Working with staff and project teams that are really good at what they do and provide that to clients and other staff.
Which one of CDM Smith’s core values do you identify with most and why? Shared commitment—within our project teams and our clients. The success of CDM and of our clients is driven by everyone doing their part and following through. I think our most successful projects are when clients are fully committed and deliver on their side.
What does “listen. think. deliver.” mean to you? One of the most important things we can and need to do is to listen to our clients and help them isolate their problems. Frequently, they know there is an issue and we need to help them really focus on that problem before we create a solution.
What are your 3 non-work passions? Fly Fishing, soccer and spending time with family.
A trusting relationship with clients enables us to develop targeted and innovative solutions to meet their requirements.
