SNZweig Forms AEC Industry Advisory Council
Zweig Group Founder Mark Zweig Named as Founding Chair
SNZweig, the first national integrated advisory platform built exclusively for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, today announced the formation of the SNZweig AEC Industry Advisory Council. Mark Zweig, entrepreneur, board member, and founder of Zweig Group, will serve as Founding Chair.
The Council brings together a small group of industry leaders from AEC firm leadership, academia, and professional associations. The Industry Advisory Council will meet quarterly and provide strategic guidance and direction to shape industry research and business insights for AEC firms.
Mark Zweig has been a long-time strategic advisor to Zweig Group. His role as Founding Chair is a natural progression of his involvement in AEC and with the newly created firm that resulted from the merger of Stambaugh Ness and Zweig Group.
“Mark has spent over four decades helping AEC firms build better businesses, and the industry trusts his judgment,” said Steve Hake, CEO of SNZweig. “Having him lead this Council keeps us closely connected to and accountable to the people we serve. The leaders who join him will have a direct voice in what we are building.”
Few people know the AEC industry from as many perspectives as Mark Zweig. He started inside a consulting firm serving the AEC industry, becoming an owner of The Pickering Firm in Memphis and later leading HR and then marketing at Carter & Burgess. In 1988, he founded what became Zweig Group, and he has since worked with several thousand AEC firm CEOs and managers in the U.S. and abroad. That firsthand experience has informed his perspectives on the industry, which he has shared through weekly contributions in The Zweig Letter for more than 30 years. He has also been the client: as a design/build developer through Mark Zweig, Inc., he hired the contractors whose firms he advises. He has served as an outside director or advisor to at least a dozen private companies.
Founding Council members will be announced ahead of the Council’s inaugural meeting in March 2027. Its formation reflects SNZweig’s mission to Elevate the Industry® by helping AEC leaders navigate complexity, accelerate growth, and drive long-term value.
