I’ve authored 40+ executive business cases and directed $50M+ in capital projects, while leading site selection, lease decisions, vendor agreements, and portfolio-wide KPI and OKR frameworks.

At Cushman & Wakefield, I managed commercial real estate projects with budgets up to $10M and led a team of project managers and coordinators. Earlier, I founded The Paquin Real Estate Group, which generated $65M in sales volume, and directed logistics and asset management for the U.S. Air Force’s C-17A fleet.
