Design Management-Inception to Completion

Presenting development ideas to money partners, answering questions, and defending positions…all this requires skill and a complete command of the plan. When Peg ran the meeting, money partners wanted to poach her to design and build their own projects. True story!

When I left St. Joe to run development at Scout Capital I could have chosen any of 20+ highly competent design and development people, several Disney Imagineers. I only wanted one person: Peg Blackall.

Peg Blackall runs jobs right. She develops the plan, finds the right people, keeps costs in budget and completion on schedule. Peg runs jobs better than anyone I’ve worked with."
