Nick Derr Headshot

Nick bridges the gap across client facility teams, boots-on-the-ground client representatives and their stakeholders. His laser focus—combined with blended experience as a designer, consulting facility planner and software implementation specialist—makes him uniquely qualified to solve even the largest building management challenges.

As a catalyst for change, Nick is responsible for engaging our clients as partners in the total process. He has played a key role over the last decade in propelling FOS from a small, regional team to a major, multi-office practice.
