Kurt Koenig is the co-founder and Executive Vice President of Penta Technologies, a post he has held since 1991. Kurt also previously served as co-chairman of CFMA’s National Information Technology Committee.
”CFMA and the IT Council are a great opportunity to learn from thought leaders in construction financial management, and to give back to the industry by helping the IT Council develop and share information on IT-related topics with CFMA’s membership,” said Kurt Koenig.
In addition to his new role with the CFMA IT Council, Koenig has long been active in construction association boards and committees, including the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) Electronic Information System Committee and its agcXML Data Exchange Standards and Building Information Modeling task forces.
