Four Management Appointments Include Two High-Caliber Additions in the Americas

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Global construction experts and delivery consultancy Mace Group today announced key leadership posts following the January 1 succession of Jason Millett taking the helm as Group CEO, and Davendra Dabasia as CEO of Mace Consult, the role formerly held by Millett.

Millett is credited for spearheading growth as the industry’s preeminent provider entirely focused on delivery leveraging Mace’s construction expertise, with the company on track to post another revenue record. He noted, “We have diversified our portfolio over the past decade to serve the world’s leading organizations, from infrastructure to commercial and financial services, to advanced life sciences, manufacturing and technology facilities.”

Reflecting on the four new leadership posts, all in Mace’s Consult business, Dabasia said, “Each of these appointments supports our growth and value proposition applying deep construction expertise to elevate the delivery of increasingly complex, large-scale developments. We’re uniquely focused on serving the best interests of clients and stakeholders invested in these programs with management proven to deliver them to-plan, with superior value and outcomes that last long after our work is done.”


Americas

Two of the four positions are based in the Americas, where Mace has grown substantially in recent years, delivering advanced facilities and capital programs for world-leading financial services, technology, and life sciences companies, while also serving as delivery partner to mega infrastructure programs. These include the Lima 2019 Pan American and Parapan American Games and subsequent Peruvian national infrastructure reconstruction and resilience program; Metrolinx GO and Subways expansion programs in Canada; and the Hudson Tunnel Project in the US.

James Reeves joins Mace as Global Head of Cities and Places, a new role based at the company’s Americas headquarters in New York City to address rising urbanization driving robust demand for smart city solutions using predictive analytics and AI to connect people, infrastructure and commercial activities.

In his most recent post as Global Chief Operating Officer for Project Management with CBRE, Reeves oversaw a $300 billion portfolio of capital projects for multinational clients. Prior to his tenure with that company, he was Global Head of Capital Projects with Barclays Capital.

Reeves earned his Bachelor of Science in construction engineering management at Loughborough University, where he also received a diploma in industrial studies. He is a member of the UK Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and actively supports industry, educational and community organizations in the New York area.

Oscar Caipo joins Mace as Head of Latin America, based in Lima, to lead growth with clients in Peru, Colombia and Mexico supporting infrastructure, commercial, and industrial developments.

Prior to joining Mace, Caipo was Senior Partner and President of KPMG Peru. In 25 years with that company, he led business management, risk, technology, infrastructure, and sustainability consultancy serving multinational clients throughout the region, including leading the company’s broader Latin America advisory business and KPMG Consulting in Brazil. Earlier in his career, he served in financial management with Procter and Gamble in Peru.

Caipo earned his Bachelor of Science in business administration with concentration in finance and operations management at Boston University and completed leadership programs with Georgetown University’s School of Diplomacy and Harvard Business School’s corporate directorship.

An active advocate for social advancement, sustainable development and responsible business, he serves on the boards of several business, community and industry organizations.
