Building Management

David Osborn, JD
President & CEO
David founded the Company and brings over twenty years of experience working in early-stage companies within the technology sector. With three companies under his belt, he thinks Building Engines is his best. A CEO with big ideas, David surrounds himself with other big thinkers who collectively propel Building Engines each day. Like TR, he believes that the best executive is one who has sense enough to pick good people to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it. He is the father of three, an old pilot; former commercial fisherman; aging surfer, midnight author, and recovering environmental lawyer.

Leeann Cannon
Digital Content Manager
A graduate of Syracuse University with dual degrees in Journalism and Literature, Leeann knows a thing or two about the written word. As our Digital Content Manager, she brings 10 years of new media experience to our platform. Whether she's crafting her latest blog post or developing a new marketing campaign, when it comes to commercial real estate, she's got you covered.

Jody Saarmaa
VP, Product Management

Sarah Fisher
Director, Marketing and Communications
A mom, marketer and maven, Sarah is the pied-piper of lead-generation. She brings a creative approach and designer’s eye to every project, and her productivity rivals that of the honeybee. She doesn’t just market, she firmly believes her product is bigger, better and more indispensable than yours (a competitive spirit left over from her gymnast days). Sarah spent the first part of her career in financial services, so she excels at convincing prospects to spend money wisely (on her awesome products, of course).

Scott Sidman
Senior Vice President
Scott is our chief marketer and resident real estate technology evangelist. He has spent 10 years helping our clients and the industry utilize web and mobile technology to improve management practices leading to better customer service and property performance. Scott has over 25 years of experience operating businesses, creating sales and marketing process, teams and building brands. He is a father to 2 young adult daughters (which may explain the hair loss), has a very shaggy dog, and when not in search of great BBQ or a perfect ski day, is in a constant battle to improve his very amateur status on guitar and the golf course.

Steve Walsh
VP, Sales
Steve has spent more than 15 years scaling software companies and is Vice President of Sales at Building Engines. He's also English – which we think helps his sales efforts in the U.S. Steve denies this fact and attributes our growth to being a true partner to our clients, doing the right thing, proving versus promising, and acting with integrity. We still think the accent helps. Steve's an avid golfer, aging soccer player, husband and father to two boys (both of whom are responsible for his gray hair).

Kyle Maikath
VP, Client Services and Support
As the head of our support team, Kyle has mastered the art of client telepathy - providing solutions even before the client is aware of the problem (it’s rumored he can also finish thoughts before they are ever formed). He embodies the perfect combination of personable charisma and technical knowledge. Additionally, Kyle is an essential liaison between our clients and the Building Engines team, working closely with marketing, sales and engineering to drive product direction based on customer feedback. Kyle is the ultimate advocate for Building Engines customers and a big part of the reason behind our 99% client retention rate.

Mindy Thompson
Marketing Operations Associate
As our marketing opps guru, Mindy has a passion for getting into the consumer's mind, and previously holding a client-based role at BEI prepared her for just that. Her body consists of 89% coffee (Starbucks, to be exact) and she still mourns the death of The Office. When not mining through marketing data, you can find her running the Charles River, kayaking in Maine, or cat napping with her orange tabby.

Carl Dahl
Director of Client Services

Nick Krone
Implementation Project Manager
Fly fisherman, lunch enthusiast, and general tinkerer, Nick is the guy who gets you deployed on time. Moving back to Massachusetts after his college days at the University of Miami, he brought back a wealth of business knowledge, but sadly none of the sunshine and warm weather. Got a question about Building Engines deployment, product features, or catching epic fish? Fire away!

Kiara Sanchez
Implementation Project Manager
A Miami native, Kiara somehow got lost on her way to the South Beach and ended up here in the good ol' Northeast two years ago. Joining the Building Engines team as a Client Account Manager shortly after getting to Boston, Kiara has worked with a large and ever growing portfolio of clients both big and small from the West to the East coast. With a B.S. in Communications, a minor in Marketing, and her bold Cuban personality, she aims high to satisfy all client expectations. All challenges welcomed! On her time off, she enjoys binge watching shows on Netflix with her significant other and eating some good home-cooked Dominican and Cuban food.

Mike Coates
Preventive Maintenance Project Manager
A UMass Lowell Alumni (MBA – Finance) with experience in property management and as an engineering coordinator, Mike brings insight from the client’s perspective through his work with Beacon Capital Partners and Jones Lang LaSalle (Boston) along with industry experience with EMCOR Facilities and Building Technology Engineers (Boston). These fields primarily translate into Building Engines’ Preventive Maintenance, Inspections, and Liability programs within the company and the application. Mike works hard to continue to improve on-boarding and implementation needs from the world of PM for your engineers. In his spare time he plays hockey and golf and is a big time Bruins fan.

Matt Gillen
Client Account Manager
Matt is a graduate of Bentley University in Waltham, MA with a BS in Information Design and Corporate Communication. Matt brings a technical communications and customer experience background with him to Building Engines, where he manages relationships with several of the company’s principal accounts.
