Bridging Capital Planning, Asset Management & Data-Driven Facilities Strategy

I specialize in bridging the gap between facilities operations, capital projects, and long-term capital planning, ensuring infrastructure investments align with organizational needs and sustainability goals. With expertise in state of good repair, facilities condition assessments, and asset lifecycle management, I develop data-driven strategies that optimize resources, reduce risk, and enhance infrastructure resilience.

I lead the development of annual and multi-year capital plans, aligning the fiscal year capital budget with long-term facility needs. By leveraging data & insights, I ensure that capital investments are prioritized for maximum impact and sustainability. My role requires analyzing infrastructure conditions, forecasting asset needs, and developing strategic plans that reduce deferred maintenance while improving capital efficiency.

Beyond planning, I oversee the CMMS database housing 27,000+ system data points, integrating it into capital forecasting, maintenance strategies, and project planning. I work closely with facilities teams and project managers to update lifecycle information, enhance data accuracy, and improve asset performance tracking. My expertise in CMMS implementation, predictive maintenance, and data analytics ensures that facility condition data is transformed into actionable investment strategies.

✔ State of Good Repair & Facilities Condition Assessments – Analyzing infrastructure needs to drive capital investment decisions.
✔ Capital Planning & Forecasting – Developing multi-year strategies that align with operational and financial objectives.
