Our Story
Dedication and Service
Fortitude Advisory was founded in 2021 when 14 Global Executives with experiences in architecture, engineering, construction, and real estate came together with the mission to develop the next generation of industry leaders through mentorship and education. We are a non-profit organization looking to pay it forward by working with soon to be college graduates, junior career professionals and transitioning military personnel by providing them with an understanding of the built environment and the many opportunities available. We strive to foster personal growth, create meaningful partnerships, and open doors to success.

“Knowledge, experience, and relationships drive professional courage and fortitude; the
fortitude we gained along the
way is the fortitude we shall
pass on while paying it forward”
Why did the Fortitude Founders come together?

Funding & Support
Fortitude has been proudly self-funded to date, driven by the personal investment of our Advisors and the generous support of Friends of Fortitude.
