MacRae and Williams join Macro Consultants as directors, project management

Manhattan, NY According to Macro Consultants, Rory MacRae and Dodie Williams have joined the firm as directors, project management. MacRae joins Macro following his tenure at NYU Langone Health as the assistant director of construction, Kimmel Program. 

Williams will be based in Philadelphia.

Macro’s managing principal, Michael Glatt, spoke on behalf of the organization on the importance of Rory’s new role. “Having known Rory for several years in the industry, we have long been impressed with Rory’s subject matter expertise in areas of design and construction. That foundation, combined with Rory’s commitment to organization development and operational excellence, allows Rory to be well positioned within Macro’s fast growing healthcare practice. With that as a backdrop, we are confident in the value Rory will bring to all aspects of Macro’s work.”

MacRae has made a name for himself in the construction industry as a motivated and energetic leader and team player. He worked closely with Macro as he guided numerous project teams through industry-leading best practices on NYU Langone Health’s Kimmel Pavilion construction project, deemed “one of the most digitally integrated and sophisticated inpatient facilities in the country” by U.S. News & World Report. MacRae’s experience managing several capital projects simultaneously, along with his astute oversight coordinating various large-scale teams, makes him an ideal fit within Macro.

MacRae is equally enthusiastic about joining Macro Consultants. “I have firsthand experience working with Macro, and I have consistently admired the quality they bring to the project management space. Indeed, I regard them as the best in the business,” he said. “They deliver a superior level of customer service to their clients. I am excited to join the Macro family and play a part as the company continues to grow its footprint.”

Prior to working at NYU, MacRae held various roles in construction management, including as the owner’s representative, builder, and project manager, at premier companies such as LPE Management Services, Healthcare Builders, and Lendlease. MacRae holds a Graduate Certificate in Construction Project Management from New York University and a Bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science from Mercy College.
