Winning work requires making a commitment, successfully delivering the project requires living up to your commitments. It is this promise and deliver approach that epitomizes Sevda's "seller-doer" philosophy of providing client services. In 2007, Sevda formed CPM Partners, a construction project management services firm committed to excellence. The premise was simple, visionary companies succeed when guided by inexplicably simple but true core values that are acted upon. These core values provide a sense of purpose, they define the organization. Sevda's leadership and commitment to excellence has attracted highly motivated and talented professionals who, like Sevda, live the firm's values and are passionate about the work. As Sevda suspected when she began this endeavor the results are as simple and as predictable as the premise: happy clients, fulfilled employees, repeat business and growth. |
