About Diego Jácome
Changing the world is within the realm of possibilities. It’s a simple and yet empowering truth, one that I continue to redefine as I push for the next frontier in my life. My professional experience revolves around my passion for project engineering, planning, designing and execution of infrastructure programs. This drive has pushed me across multiple continents and technical challenges. I have a track record of working effectively in several design projects – ranging from world-class theme parks like Shanghai Disneyland Resort in China to the residential, cultural and commercial developments of Saadiyat, Al Reem and Al Ghadeer in United Arab Emirates. I pride myself in my focus to bridge the gap between Latinx development and representation in the engineering and construction community. I came from the cobbled streets of Quito, Ecuador, and I plan to always draw inspiration from those streets as I develop ideas to change the world.Areas of strength include- Multi-Disciplinary Coordination- Developing High-Performance Teams- Project Engineering- Delivering Projects in Accelerated Schedules- Design Management and Leadership- Inclusivity and Diversity Programs- Personal and Professional Mentoring
