Skanska has added Josie Mok as Chief Financial Officer for its USA Commercial Development business unit. Mok replaces Axel Wingard who moved into a global position for the company based in Stockholm.

In this role, Mok is responsible for overseeing Skanska's real estate asset portfolio in the U.S., in collaboration with the other members of its senior leadership team, to ensure that the company's strong balance sheet is maintained, which allows Skanska to self-finance the majority of its development projects. She will also be responsible for controlling, reporting, and managing risk and return by implementing financial strategies for project planning and development.

"Josie brings a deep background in finance and experience in the commercial real estate industry that will serve as a great benefit to our team," said Rob Ward, president and CEO of Skanska USACommercial Development. "I am confident that she will play an integral role in our continued success and growth and I look forward to her contributions as a member of our U.S. leadership team."

Prior to joining Skanska, Mok served as the Senior Vice President for Financial Planning & Analysis in Forest City Realty Trust's Brooklyn, NY office, where she oversaw investment analysis and financial forecasting for investments in New York office, retail, residential, and hotel asset classes, as well as sports & entertainment. Mok holds a bachelor of science in Hotel Administration from Cornell University. She is based out of Skanska's flagship office in the Empire State Building and supports the Commercial Development team nationally.
