AESG, Director of Façades, Amy Koerbel’s statement

Amy Koerbel, Director of Façades, said:“ With my technical background in architectural, structural and façade engineering, I’ve always embraced a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to solving challenges – key values AESG shares. 

“In addition to my technical expertise, I’ve had the opportunity to take on significant leadership and management roles, which have been instrumental in shaping how I approach team building and stakeholder engagement and in delivering results that align with both client aspirations and company objectives.

“These experiences will be invaluable as I work to grow AESG’s façade engineering presence in the UK.

Sandra Rubiano, Associate Director of Façades, said: “The UK market presents a wealth of opportunities for AESG, including the imperative to meet increasingly stringent regulatory demands and the exciting advancements in façade technologies.

“I’m particularly excited about retrofit projects; not only does improving energy efficiency and fire performance of existing buildings align with AESG’s expertise and sustainability goals, but these processes also contribute significantly to the UK’s wider carbon and safety agendas – areas where AESG has played a pivotal role.

“Through open communication, actively encouraging knowledge sharing, and promoting a collaborative team environment, I aim to ensure that insights from all disciplines in the business – including sustainability, acoustics, fire engineering and more – are effectively integrated to deliver truly holistic and sustainable façade solutions for our clients.”
