In this episode of the AEC Business podcast, I talk with Katie Coulson, Executive VP and General Manager of Skanska Advanced Technology (SAT), an operating unit leading the way in high-tech and semiconductor construction.
- In this candid conversation, Katie shares:
- Why SAT was launched in response to global client demand
- How SAT balances autonomy with integration across Skanska’s local units
- Their approach to scaling innovations like modular clean rooms, AI-powered project controls, and integrated digital twins
- SAT’s unique vertical market model; a first within Skanska
- Why standardization, single-point client contact, and global knowledge-sharing are game changers
- How Katie is building a purpose-driven culture grounded in trust, inclusion, and innovation
A must-listen if you’re curious about how large contractors can move fast, act like startups, and still deliver complex industrial facilities.
