About
A long-standing champion of design and innovation, Shonn Mills has more than 30 years of experience in the design and management of large-scale building and transport infrastructure projects. He began his career as a bridge designer, working on several long-span bridges in California and the West Coast of the United States. After relocating to London in 2007, his focus shifted to building engineering, which involved a wide range of long-span projects, such as stadiums, airports, and metro stations, in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. This led to designing complex, multi-discipline building structures, including high-rise buildings.
In 2014, Mills relocated to Singapore to start the Ramboll Buildings Asia operation, where he continued to apply his experience on tall building structures, modular buildings, and prefabrication. Four years later, he assumed the role of Global Director of…
