Accomplishments

  • As the leader of the Corporate Global Operations Team, I directed the modernization of the Exterior Building Maintenance Program, including all related contracts and training protocols. These enhancements significantly reduced organizational liability and decreased the average time required per window‑cleaning cycle—saving approximately eight hours per property across more than 450 properties. The streamlined manual and updated training framework also improved compliance and simplified administration of code requirements.
  • During my tenure as Senior Manager overseeing two Class A properties totaling more than 2.2 million square feet, both operational and accounting audit scores consistently ranked near perfect. Tenant satisfaction remained exceptionally high, as measured through Kingsley surveys and secret‑shopper evaluations. The foundational team training, support systems, and experience‑driven development programs I implemented became widely recognized across the organization.
  • These achievements ultimately led to my selection for the inaugural Hines Hospitality Experience Makers group, where I contributed to the development of hospitality standards for commercial office environments—and later became part of the broader Global Management Solutions platform.
