Senior Manager of Construction Scheduling
NTT Global Data Centers Americas
United States
With over 25 years on the front lines of some of the largest construction projects, Gino Napuri has learned that a project is only as strong as the people behind it. Currently leading the scheduling team for NTT’s Data Center portfolio across the Americas, Gino ensures that mission-critical infrastructure moves forward with predictability, clarity, and a focus on the digital future.
Gino’s perspective on the “Skills of Tomorrow” is shaped by a career spanning complex vertical and horizontal projects for heavyweights like BART, CAHSR, ExxonMobil, Google, and various State DOTs. Having transitioned from $3B+ heavy civil mega-projects to the fast-paced world of data center deployment, he offers a unique vantage point on how project controls must evolve to meet new talent and technology demands.
A firm believer that scheduling is about building a shared vision rather than just mastering software, Gino advocates for the transparency and collaboration that actually gets things built. He joins the Project Control Summit to share how professionals can redefine their careers by moving beyond data entry and into the strategic, human-centric leadership required for a data-driven environment.
