Relevant Experience: Dianne O’Connell brings over a decade of hands-on project management experience, with a strong foundation in construction oversight, vendor coordination, scheduling, and compliance. In her role at Greystar, she directly supervised the construction and lease-up of a 132-unit luxury student housing project, using Procore and Bluebeam to optimize timelines and reduce vendor errors. She developed detailed construction reports and action plans aligned with ownership goals, ensuring timely project delivery. Previously, at Claremont Companies, Dianne managed a 289-unit residential complex and led a major heat coil remediation project, demonstrating her capability in overseeing large-scale initiatives and navigating complex compliance frameworks such as 40-B certification. She ensured 100% on-time file submissions and achieved perfect audit scores, highlighting her meticulous approach to project documentation. More recently, at Autura, she directed project workflows and compliance systems, leading system implementations and SOC-2 certification efforts, while streamlining operations during a company merger. Though focused on SaaS, this role reflects her capacity for high-stakes project coordination, risk management, and cross-functional leadership—all highly transferable to construction project management.
