About The Event
Smarter Decisions. Stronger Projects. The Owner Advisor Advantage
This panel digs into the questions that matter: How do certain skillsets translate into — and elevate — the Owner Advisor role? When does an owner truly need an Owner Advisor, and when can they go it alone? How does the right advisor help an owner become an "Owner of Choice" who attracts the best design-builders rather than scaring them off?
Panelist:
Mike Meredith, CCM and DBIA Fellow, Vanir Construction Management, Inc., Vice President, Director of Design-Build Program and Services
Nick Rossi, CA Dept of General Services, Project Director III
Wesley Ramirez, UC Davis Health, Senior Project Manager
