In AACE’s recent election, VMS Senior Cost Estimator Doug Leo was elected for a three-year commitment as President of the Board of Directors. Formerly known as the American Association of Cost Engineers, AACE is a professional society serving the total cost management community since 1956. Doug currently maintains several important total cost management certifications and designations, including Certified Cost Professional (CCP), Certified Estimating Professional (CEP), and Honorary Life AACE Fellow (FAACE). He himself was part of the AACE task force to develop and streamline the CEP certification.
Doug has more than 30 years of total cost management, professional estimating, and project consulting experience. At VMS, Doug has been responsible for preparation, review, and validation of conceptual and detailed estimates for domestic and international capital projects ranging from $200,000 to over $10 billion in size. He specializes in capital projects of strategic importance, utilizing new technologies and innovating in parametric estimating methodologies.
Join us in congratulating Doug Leo. At VMS, we regularly see the benefits of Doug’s involvement in AACE for our Project Controls Group and look forward to many more years of his guidance, mentorship, and innovation in total cost management.
