James Bennett
I have a proven track record of taking over at-risk projects, aligning teams around a clear path to completion, and delivering results ahead of deadline. I am particularly known for stepping into projects that are behind schedule and successfully leading them across the finish line.
Most recently, I took over a project that was three months behind schedule. Through focused leadership, team alignment, and disciplined execution, we not only recovered the schedule but completed the project 31 days ahead of the final deadline.
I bring strong leadership experience and extensive knowledge of multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use buildings. I have a proven ability to take over projects that are behind schedule, quickly assess challenges, align teams around priorities, and drive execution through completion.
