A mentor of Brian’s once said that all great ideas quickly turn into hard work. Brian delights in both parts of that idiom—not only promoting creativity but also organizing the business processes required to actualize creative ideas. He’s a professional engineer, a business strategist, an experienced facilitator, and the managing lead of our practice services team. He has 40 years of consulting and project management experience in power, energy, building system design, and sustainability studies.
Brian is leading our evolution to become a learning organization. He believes our talents, both collective and individual, lead directly to our growth. He’s the creator and prime facilitator of our PM Boot Camp training—a program that helps to expand the toolset of our project managers—but the Stantec endeavor closest to his heart is our corporate Innovation Office.
Intending to encourage innovative thinking as a key factor in the value we bring to our projects, clients, and communities, the Innovation Office promotes new ideas in our day-to-day work, takes research to market, celebrates our creative work, and makes creativity a cornerstone of our growth. Brian is one our corporate innovation leaders, with a focus on promoting advanced thinking in our internal corporate services and processes.
