Londono’s stellar reputation stands as a testament to his proficiency and professionalism. As Commissioning’s Electrical Service Leader, he is frequently on call 24/7 to respond to building and data center system emergencies. His 20 years of experience includes providing holistic approaches to all aspects of electrical infrastructure maintenance, testing, and upgrades for a single building, or implementing a standardized approach for a national portfolio. Londono was instrumental in the successful execution of a project encompassing over 20 buildings across a large geographic footprint. He managed the process of deploying commissioning agents to different sites and spearheaded the development of the electrical scope of work. This project collaboration, working together yet remotely before it was necessitated by a global pandemic, facilitated a transition to working virtually in a COVID-19 world.
