LOCHNER WELCOMES STEPHANIE REED AS PROGRAM DIRECTOR OF PROGRAM MANAGEMENT ADVISORY PRACTICE

CHICAGO, Jan. 15, 2026 — Lochner, an Egis Group company, is pleased to announce that Stephanie Reed, LEED AP, has joined the firm as Program Director. In this role, Reed will strengthen Lochner’s Program Management Advisory Practice, providing strategic oversight and leadership for complex, large-scale capital investment programs.

Reed brings more than 17 years of experience delivering complex, large-scale public and private sector construction and infrastructure programs. Her background includes senior leadership roles overseeing portfolios ranging from hundreds of millions to multi-billion-dollar capital programs, with deep expertise in program governance, stakeholder coordination, risk management, and delivery within active operational environments.

Prior to joining Lochner, Reed served as Senior Program Manager within Amazon’s Global Engineering, Maintenance, & Sustainability — North American Design and Construction organization. In that role she led design and construction execution planning for hundreds of facilities nationwide and supported delivery of the company’s annual capital investment plan. Earlier in her career, she held senior leadership roles with the City and County of Denver, including Program Director for the Mayor’s Office of the National Western Center, where she led delivery of the $750+ million, multi-year campus redevelopment program involving complex phasing, equity partner coordination, and continuous public operations.

“Stephanie’s experience delivering highly complex programs within public-sector environments makes her exceptionally well-suited to lead large capital investment programs for our clients,” said Danielle Smith, West Regional Manager at Lochner. “Her ability to navigate stakeholder needs, manage risk, and maintain schedule and budget discipline while building strong, collaborative teams will be a tremendous asset to clients and Lochner’s program management team.”
