Meet Our 2026 Leadership!
Matt and Elizabeth are leading the charge this year in our shared mission to transform the design and construction industry. LCI Congress brings together people from across the industry who are committed to thinking differently, learning from one another, and finding better ways to deliver value.
Elizabeth Taylor
Vice President – National Lean Director, JE Dunn Construction
2026 LCI Congress Co-Chair
“I’m honored and humbled to serve as co-chair for the 2026 LCI Congress conference in Atlanta, alongside Matt Bleakley. What excites me most is bringing people together across roles and perspectives to learn, connect, have some fun, and move our industry forward. Lean is ultimately about people—how we lead, how we learn, and how we build trust—and I’m energized to help create a 2026 LCI Congress experience that is practical, human, impactful, and memorable.”
