Fritz Reuter: The Man Behind the $3 Billion Plan at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital

He was Assistant Secretary General and Executive Director of the Capital Master Plan at the United Nations and responsible for the $1.6 billion rebuilding of the U.N. Headquarters in New York City. He went on to be the Senior Vice President for Facilities Development and Real Estate at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH), one of the largest and most comprehensive university hospitals in the world with 2,300 beds, and operating revenues of more than $3 billion supporting five academic campus locations. That's where he accomplished a major consolidation of real estate and facilities management data for the institution's 10 million+ square feet of space, streamlined capital planning, and where he is now Senior Advisor to the current CEO.

Taking time from his busy schedule, Mr. Reuter looks back on a long and distinguished career in this wide-ranging interview. In it, he shares his insights on ensuring large project success, the importance of mentoring, why you should separate project planning from project funding considerations...and much more.
