Facilities Management Consultancy - Sommerfeld
Since 2005 I've had the opportunity to lead, manage, mend, and reinvigorate three large facility management organizations where I've led as many as 750 employees, managed millions of square feet of space, and controlled operating budgets of $40M.

In each case I balanced budgets, improved the reputation of facilities management, increased employee and customer satisfaction, and engaged at a strategic level in the organization.
