Founder and Principal

Grant Sommerfeld

Grant brings 17 years of Chief Facilities Officer experience, leading complex facilities operations across post-secondary, healthcare, and municipal environments.

His work focuses on a specific problem: why Facilities Management functions become trapped in reactive service delivery despite capable people and significant investment.

Across institutions, the pattern is consistent. Facilities teams are positioned downstream of the decisions that drive workload, cost, and risk. They are then held accountable for outcomes they did not create and cannot fully control.
