Karin Holland
Karin is an accomplished consultant with over 15 years of experience in Europe and the United States working with the architecture, engineering and construction industry to empower high performing teams and programs. Karin has recognized expertise in multi-stakeholder facilitation, strategic planning and systems thinking with a focus on complex societal challenges.
Karin recently launched an industrialized construction consulting service, helping project teams align project intent with offsite production, plan and design for manufacturing and assembly, and facilitate supply chain integration. Through this work, Karin identified an opportunity to address the severe shortage in labor while leapfrogging the industry into the future of construction. Karin is therefore developing a community construction innovation center in Baltimore City for community members with high potential but limited opportunities for growth and development. The center will enable trainees to develop skills required for the design, fabrication, and installation of construction assemblies, while getting exposure to the many facets of construction and career possibilities in this industry and being paid a living wage. The prefabricated assemblies will contribute to city development projects, and will be a sustainable feeder into other Baltimore-based vocational and apprenticeship programs.
Karin holds a master’s degree in natural sciences from the University of Cambridge, UK and a Masters in Law & Environmental Science from the University of Nottingham, UK.
