About Ken Gerrard

After some time of self-reflection, I have returned to a role of Business Development which I both missed and enjoyed. I have prided myself for possessing strong communication skills, being persistent, and building and maintaining relationships. I search for opportunities and am driven by results. I listen and learn my client\'s goals and work with them to achieve those outcomes by strategic thinking and collaboration. Listening and learning is a critical skill of any Business Development manager. I thrive with helping decision makers and those that understand the need for a person whose goal and mission is to provide meaningful preconstruction and budget analysis along with meeting expectations during the construction process. Client relations is a proactive role and my efforts as a client conscience individual have earned me a reputation of honesty and a valued partner.Specialties\': Open Communication, understanding client needs, transparency, goal driven, using my 30 years of experience, being know as a happy friendly person. I use my past experience as a public elected official to help navigate a \"win-win\" for all parties involved,
