Led project execution across IEA’s utility-scale energy and infrastructure EPC platform, operating in complex, multi-stakeholder environments spanning power generation, renewables, and grid-connected assets. Held executive responsibility for planning, construction, and delivery across a $6B+ portfolio of energy and infrastructure projects, with direct accountability for safety, schedule certainty, cost control, and margin performance. Implemented disciplined project controls, PMO standards, and risk management processes aligned with traditional utility and oil & gas EPC execution models, while integrating advanced digital and field technologies to improve execution outcomes. Deployed AI-enabled project analytics, drone-based site monitoring, and digital progress verification to enhance schedule forecasting, identify constructability and quality issues earlier, and improve visibility across geographically dispersed projects. Identified and executed more than $44M in cumulative cost savings and margin improvement through constructability optimization, commercial negotiations, technology-enabled field oversight, and project recovery initiatives. Worked closely with owners, lenders, and internal leadership to resolve execution risk, support financing milestones, and improve predictability across large capital programs. Strengthened field execution and organizational structure to support scalable growth while maintaining safety performance and delivery certainty.

Provided executive leadership for project planning and execution across Avangrid's utility-scale energy portfolio, operating within a regulated utility and owner-operator environment.
