BOSTON: Suffolk, one of the largest and most innovative construction enterprises in the country, is proud to announce Chief Technology Officer Jit Kee Chin has been honored as an AutoDesk Construction Champion of 2024. Ms. Chin continues to play an integral role leading Suffolk’s investment, adoption and integration of cutting-edge technology and data solutions that add value for clients, increase jobsite efficiencies and continue to disrupt the construction industry. The Construction Champion recognition is annually awarded to 25 professionals who have become thought leaders and pioneers in the industry.
Since joining Suffolk in 2018, Jit Kee Chin has successfully overseen implementation of technology, data and advanced analytics to improve the organization’s core business and fundamentally reinvent the future of construction. Ms. Chin is also the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Suffolk Technologies, the venture capital affiliate of Suffolk that funds the next generation of companies solving built environment challenges. Prior to her role at Suffolk, Ms. Chin spent ten years with management consulting firm McKinsey and Company where she counseled senior executives on strategic, commercial and advanced analytics topics. She holds a Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a BS from the California Institute of Technology.
Ms. Chin continues to drive change at Suffolk by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into all facets of daily operations. AI will have countless benefits from increasing efficiencies by streamlining and automating repetitive tasks, to analyzing Suffolk’s vast “data lake” from more than ten years of successful construction projects to create more informed decision making.
“This recognition from AutoDesk is a testament to the advances Suffolk continues to make in cutting-edge technology and data. I am surrounded by a talented, mission-driven team who strive to make our industry better,” said Ms. Chin. “None of this would be possible without the investments Mr. Fish has made, and I am grateful for his support.”
Suffolk’s embrace of innovative technology and data solutions has allowed for the successful management of iconic, sophisticated and complicated building construction projects throughout the country.
