Brian’s 30-year history at NORR has shaped the company to its present form as a global design leader. He has always been, and continues to be, an integral part of the success of the business bringing experience in thought leadership, best practices, technology and operations. His deep knowledge in design and building sciences spans across international markets.

In his role as President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian is orchestrating the strategic direction of the firm to align its 700 professionals within 14 diverse market sectors, supported by centers of excellence. His goal is to maximize the potential of NORR’s diversified practice, both in terms of services and market sectors, in all offices, to the benefit of client projects. In effect, he is now shaping the next wave for NORR: one where clients enjoy the familiarity of a local team, with the knowledge and experience of NORR’s global network to achieve big picture design.

Brian’s artistic side plays out in his love of music. He is a musician and keeps himself inspired on his plane trips around the world by working on new compositions.
