Growing up in Buffalo, New York as the son of a math professor and a music educator, Lawrence was raised to value knowledge and enjoy learning.

As Vice President of JPI’s Data and Systems Integration, Lawrence contributes to JPI’s strategic initiatives to enhance the overall building and site execution process, through data-driven cross-functional workflows with a focus on analytics and automation.

He is motivated by the opportunity to deliver business and social impact through innovation and to work with great people.

Lawrence started his career as an engineer with oilfield services technology leader Schlumberger. He was based in North America, the Middle East, and Asia during his 22 years at Schlumberger, where he held roles in product development, product marketing, field operations management, manufacturing, supply chain, quality management, and corporate strategy. Lawrence served as Vice President and General Manager of China and North Asia and Senior Vice President of Drilling Technology, before transitioning to a Chief Technology Officer role for a construction start-up.

Lawrence holds degrees in Electrical Engineering, Physics, and Mathematics from Rice University.

Happily married and the proud father of three boys, Lawrence’s family recently helped him discover that he is a dog person. He is also an avid foodie, loves to play basketball and video games with his kids, travel, and, in quiet moments, enjoys listening to indie folk music.
