Fairfax, VA – Immediate Past Chair of the Ƶ Board of Directors Christopher Payne, CCM, has been elected President and Chief Operating Officer of MBP.
Chris joined the firm in 1993 and has risen steadily through positions of increasing responsibility. Prior to being named President, he served as MBP’s Chief Operating Officer. Chris has more than 30 years of experience in construction management and design, performing a wide variety of services including construction project management, inspection, CPM scheduling, and cost estimating. He has specialized experience in the resolution of construction disputes to include analysis of delays and expert testimony, both nationally and internationally.
As President and Chief Operating Officer of MBP, Chris will continue to manage the day-to-day operations of the company, drive firm process and performance improvements, and provide direct oversight of all corporate support teams.
This election, which took effect on April 18, 2019, is another step in the thoughtful transition of MBP’s ownership. As part of this transition, Blake V.

Both remain actively involved in the firm’s business including client project work, strategic planning initiatives, client relationships, and mentoring.
