About this episode

Cameron Christensen, CEFP, FMP is Director of Asset Management for Facilities Operations at Princeton University where he is passionate about leading organizations in planning, maintenance, operations, and project management. Mike Petrusky asks Cam about his new role and why he believes that people are the key to success in facilities management. The pandemic has shifted the paradigm of thinking in facilities and asset management, so Cameron says that industry-leaders must approach the traditional ten-year master plan for a campus with flexibility and dynamic planning. Technology is an accelerator of strategy, not the strategy itself so the role of FM professionals will continue to be essential, especially as they adapt to evolving needs and challenges. Join Mike and Cam as they share encouragement and inspiration the will help you be an Asset Champion in your organization!
