Tomislav Žigo, AIA — CEO
I lead digital transformation at the intersection of technology, process, and the built environment. Over the past three decades, I have worked across manufacturing, architecture, academia, and construction, with experience in process optimization, BIM implementation, building performance analysis, data-driven design, facility management, mixed reality, reality capture, UAV applications, and construction workflow improvement. I believe technology should amplify human ingenuity, not replace it. When applied well, it improves how teams work, leads to better outcomes, and contributes to a more equitable and human-centered built environment. As CEO of BEXEL USA, I work with organizations seeking to improve project delivery through organizational transformation and technology. My focus is on helping teams connect data, process, and decision-making through BIM-centric, scalable, data-driven, and AI-enabled approaches that bring greater clarity to project performance. I am a registered architect with a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Rijeka in Croatia and a Master of Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis.
Stackforce AI infers this person is a leader in digital transformation within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.
