Walbridge hires Doug Phillips for West Michigan office
The construction firm Walbridge has hired Douglas Phillips to its West Michigan office in Kalamazoo as its new business development manager.
He will be responsible for developing new client relationships for Walbridge throughout the Midwest, especially in the regions surrounding Southwest Michigan, including Northern Indiana.
Phillips has a wide background in client relations, business development, and construction management. He has extensive experience managing capital projects from the concept stage to client occupancy.
Walbridge officials say Phillips’ “ability to understand and determine key issues, goals and communication strategies makes him adept at developing relationships centered on trust and value.”
His previous experience includes work as an owner’s representative for a Fortune 500 financial institution as well as project management and business development with regional and national construction firms, contributing to a skillset rich in project execution, branding, marketing and public relations. Phillips earned a bachelor of science degree from Western Michigan University.
Walbridge was hired in 2011 to build the WMU Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. Walbridge, founded in 1916, is one of the United States’ largest privately-held construction firms. It specializes in construction management, general contracting, design-build and equipment installation, among other specialty services.
