Facility Voices podcast host, David Trask, is joined by Tia Freiburger, the Senior Manager of Facilities and Operations, Corporate Real Estate at Under Armour.
Tia shares her extensive background in collegiate recreation and facilities, and her transition to corporate America in 2019. As the Senior Manager for Facilities and Operations at Under Armour Tia walks us through the unique challenges and responsibilities of overseeing corporate headquarters, including managing service vendors, venue spaces, offices, gyms, kitchenettes, cafes, a basketball court, a stadium, and even a lab for testing equipment.
Tia also discusses her experiences during the pandemic and reflects on the new challenges of facility operations in response to ever changing circumstances. She discusses how this experience helped prepare her for Under Armour's current move to a new campus, highlighting how important developing standard operating procedures, creating diverse signage for various user groups, and navigating scheduling complexities is in a new space.
This episode is a great listen as it highlights the importance of teamwork, customer service, and adapting to unforeseen challenges.
