Tishman Construction Corporation has appointed Matthew T. Giddings as business development manager. With the modern economy’s reliance on “big data,” the demand for innovation and energy efficiency is skyrocketing. Mr. Giddings will be responsible for growing Tishman’s client base and developing new business in response to that need.

“We are thrilled to welcome Matthew to our team as we expand our business throughout the United States,” said Martin O’Neill, First Vice President and Operations Manager for the firm’s Tishman Technologies group. “The combination of Matthew’s expertise and insight, along with his relationships in the marketplace, will help us continue to grow.”

“Tishman is known for its successful track-record of managing complex projects, which is exactly the kind of experience that highly engineered data centers and critical facilities require,” added Mr. Giddings. “I look forward to working with the team to deliver the best services to our clients.”

Mr. Giddings currently serves as vice president of 7x24 Exchange International’s New England Chapter, the leading organization for knowledge exchange related to mission-critical enterprise information infrastructures. Prior to joining Tishman, he served in a senior business development role for Integrated Design Group Inc. where he was responsible for cultivating client relationships and driving new business in the design of mission-critical data centers. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Villanova University.
