When I took the reins as CEO of Shawmut Design and Construction seven years ago, I anticipated the need to grow our business, deliver unparalleled client satisfaction and create a people-first culture. Adapting to a global pandemic was not at the top of my list. Looking back on the last year and a half, I am amazed and relieved at the way we have all weathered the storm of the early pandemic, when our industry, and the world as we knew it, came to a halt.
