HGA is pleased to announce that Mark Bultman has been named Healthcare Market Sector Leader. In this strategic position based out of the Milwaukee office, he will combine his extensive leadership, management, and design expertise to direct overall performance of the national healthcare practice across 12 offices.
Bultman’s appointment is part of a business realignment to advance HGA’s brand as a premier healthcare design firm and drive intentional growth in a dynamic healthcare industry. He heads a newly implemented leadership triad that includes Alanna Carter, LEED AP, Market Sector Operations Leader, and Kate Mullaney, CPSM, Market Sector Strategy Leader—each contributing core expertise in client service, operations, and strategy.
“Mark has all the qualifications to take us forward,” said Tim Carl, FAIA, LEED AP, Chief Executive Officer of HGA. “He leads with empathy, is a good listener, leverages great talent of others, and provides leadership only when and where needed. Together with Alanna Carter and Kate Mullaney, he will provide insight to evolve our healthcare practice to a more collective structure—invigorated with diverse perspectives. He is the right person at the right time to fill the role of Healthcare Market Sector Leader.”
Bultman has been instrumental in expanding HGA’s healthcare practice since joining the firm in 2000. As the firm grew from five to 12 offices across the country, he introduced new approaches to Lean management, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), research, and design thinking that have helped transform how healthcare organizations deliver service.
He has served as Principal and Senior Project Manager for some of HGA’s most prominent healthcare projects, including the recently completed MetroHealth Glick Center, a campus transformation focused on research-based health equity and community wellbeing within a “hospital in a park” setting in Cleveland.
Other national work includes Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford in Palo Alto, California; Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Braselton, Georgia; Owensboro Health Regional Hospital in Owensboro, Kentucky; and SSM Health St. Clare Hospital in Fenton, Missouri.
He additionally has worked with top healthcare providers throughout Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest, including Aurora Health, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, ThedaCare, and UW Health.
“I’ve been blessed to be with HGA for 22 years and to have participated in incredible growth,” said Bultman. “To sustain our success, it is important to build on the legacy of the past while continuing to evolve as a thriving national practice. That legacy is represented in the talent across the practice. Our leadership team is committed to a future in which we collaborate toward success for each other and our clients. I am energized for our future because this evolution builds on a strong foundation.”
Bultman is a member of the Lean Construction Institute (LCI) Milwaukee Community of Practice. He regularly presents case studies and research at conferences, including the annual LCI Congress and ASHE Planning, Design & Construction (PDC) Summit.
He has a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
