Mackenna Moralez is joined by Gavin Ventresca, project management specialist for Boeing. Backed with a bachelors degree in architecture and facilities management, Ventresca’s entry into the industry differs from the typical facility manager. During their conversation, Ventresca discusses how he views technology as just another tool in the toolbelt and advises what new FMs can gain by embracing change. From debunking lazy Gen Z myths, to embracing mistakes as learning moments, this conversation is for anyone curious about the future of facilities management, the power of technology and what it means to build a career you love.
“I like it when I walk into a hot dumpster fire, and I’m able to figure out what’s going well, what’s not, and what we can do to fix it,” Ventresca says during the interview.
The Facilities in Focus podcast publishes bi-weekly. The second season will cover technology within the facilities management space.
