“We’re thrilled to welcome Mike to the executive ranks. His leadership and experience working in major cities will be an asset to our Chicago and New York teams, as well as our clients in those areas,” remarked Bill Gilbane, Jr. president and chief operating officer. “Mike’s outstanding communication and employee engagement skills will benefit our entire executive management team and help further our client advocacy mission.”

Since then, he has progressed through a wide range of positions including project manager, project executive, district manager, regional operations manager and senior vice president.
Bohn is a past board member of the Harper College Educational Foundation; member of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges; and a past chair for Gilbane’s United Way Chicago campaign.
