“While Aaron's well-rounded expertise in risk management, public-private partnerships and the AEC industry has been incredibly valuable to our work in the emerging green infrastructure sector, what makes Aaron an exceptional advisor is his ability to listen carefully and then offer advice that is clear, insightful and immediately actionable. He creates a welcoming environment to help us work through new ideas and thorny problems, but isn't afraid to challenge us with tough, incisive questions in the process. He is humble, generous with his time, intellectually curious and an advocate for our success. As a result, Aaron is without a doubt one of our most trusted, valued and effective advisors.”
