Tom Winter

Principal
Tom’s career was primarily spent working, over 30 years, for a large international design and construction firm with operations in the United States. As often happens, his work at the firm took him in new unanticipated directions along with increased responsibilities. From performing regional business development, he moved on to the national level; creating and implementing a corporate marketing plan together with managing a nationwide team. The team was successful in establishing the company in the U.S. client market where it had previously no experience. From there, the balance of Tom’s career took another direction. He was part of the founding team of a new subsidiary focused on developing large-scale public/private projects such as sports venues, cultural facilities, science parks, and urban multi-use re-development. Early on he was responsible for new business development and then moved to leading project teams including architects and engineers for work both in the U.S and abroad. His multi-faceted experience gives him a unique understanding of the challenges faced by our clients.
