From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google"s product portfolio possible.

  • Advocate the use of parametric cost modeling and analytics to optimize real estate development and building design, using data to predict risks and standardize elements for capital efficiency and speed.
  • Act as the strategic linchpin between developers, design engineering, procurement, and internal stakeholders, leading critical contract negotiations and pivoting contracting methodologies (e.g., GMP to Lump Sum) to secure best-value procurement.
