Cristian’s career has led him from Las Vegas to New York, the Bay Area, and now the Pacific Northwest, and from the performing arts through retail operations to nearly 20 years in business development in the AEC industry. At LMN, he works closely with the partners and principals to collaboratively set business development strategies, establish and develop client and partner relationships, identify and optimize project opportunities, and grow the business development skill of staff at all levels. In heading up our Marketing and Communications team, Cristian focuses on creating a strong foundation to allow the staff to do their best work, and mentoring and creating opportunities for each staff member to explore their own talents and interests.
A lifelong lover of language and stories, Cristian has explored the cultural, strategic, and physiological aspects of storytelling, diving deep to understand the techniques of effective narrative as a strategic tool. He has written about the importance of stories and storytelling as both cultural engine and an underutilized tool for personal and communal growth. At LMN, he works with teams to sharpen the essential stories we define for each project.
