Donata Ceretto Giannone, Tecton Architects
Tecton chief executive officer Ted Cutler said, "Donata's unique owner's perspective promises to be a key asset to our clients as we strive for continued delivery of excellent service and optimal solutions." Ceretto Giannone assumes the position of senior project manager, healthcare, effective immediately.
Upon graduating with a bachelor's degree in Industrial Technology from Central Connecticut State University, Ceretto Giannone made her first contributions to the healthcare arena at Bristol Hospital (Bristol, CT). Her 20-year tenure included responsibilities for all construction and related facility projects for the 152-bed community hospital and its affiliated organizations.
Director roles followed within Sodexo Health Care Services including management of operations for the 350-bed Saint Mary's Hospital (Waterbury, CT) and Health System (approximately 1 million s/f). Her commitment and passion is in part due to the challenges presented by the ever-changing healthcare environment and understanding how it can affect each patient. "The patient experience begins from the moment they first leave their car. Everything contributes to the overall experience. To be a part of always improving that process is why I've chosen to devote my energies to the healthcare field." Ceretto Giannone anticipates greater contributions to the healthcare field in her new capacity at Tecton.
Tecton, a "multispecialist" firm offers architectural, interior design and master planning services to a growing array of notable clients within the fields of healthcare, academia, and research. The addition of Ceretto Giannone furthers Tecton's strategic growth of the firm's capacity for highest quality design and commitment to elevating patient-centric healthcare solutions of tomorrow.
