FOUNDER of PK Consulting
I have 19 years of experience persuading complex networks of stakeholders to transform their operational processes and behaviors. At Credit Suisse, JLL and WeWork, I learned continuously across the disciplines of information security, operational risk, expense management and corporate real estate, before finding my passion for workplace strategy and the future of work.
My best clients’ portfolios are up to 40% more efficient, with 10% higher employee engagement, and 5% lower voluntary attrition. A data analytics background and practitioner mindset help keep me hyper-focused on sustaining and measuring desired changes.
I founded and grew a team of 25 strategists in 7 countries in 18 months. I have advised companies on global portfolios in excess of 50m square feet, campus projects impacting more than 10,000 employees, and engagements over $1B in total contract value.
Outside of work, I am a fifth-generation NYC native, dedicated father and husband, committed volunteer for New York Cares and Lincoln Center, and avid traveler with 45 countries under my belt so far.
