With empathy and purpose, and driven by a firm belief in gender equality and diversity, Emily has spearheaded mentorship initiatives and set priorities that have strengthened relationships and advanced women in design and construction. She has built replicable programs that empower women to become leaders and mentors themselves, as well as dedicated herself to their advancement within the industry.

Her advocacy and commitments enable others to strive higher, reach farther, and be stronger.
“Emily’s acumen and intellect, her technical skills, and her hands on approach to managing design and construction, provide a great foundation for her successful leadership,” said Michael Glatt, Vice Chairman, North American Head of Project Management at Savills. “Above all, her discerning emotional intelligence, empathy and awareness, and her dedication to employee engagement and development, are beyond compare.”
Emily’s depth of technical and industry knowledge complements her signature brand of mentorship and leadership; she is guided by a steadfast commitment to people and processes. As a highly sought-after project executive responsible for Macro’s largest and most complex projects, Emily focuses on the strong partnerships needed between contractors, vendors, consultants, and, importantly, her clients. She is known for creating an environment based on mutual trust, open communication, and creative thinking, leading to positive group dynamics throughout the entire project team.
Emily’s substantial contributions to the fields of Design and Construction, as well as to the people with whom she works and mentors each day, were twice twice in 2021: Emily was honored by GlobeSt.com as a 2021 Woman of Influence – Mentor; she was also named by the New York Business Journal as a 2021 Woman of Influence, one of just 10 executives to receive the honor and the only executive working in Real Estate and Construction.
