“The A/E/C industry is a diverse mix of companies and individuals with an extensive range of needs, priorities, and personalities. Few people navigate this field like Jill. Her genuine, honest, down-to-earth demeanor coupled with an unrelenting desire to take care of her clients makes her a valuable asset. She has an uncanny ability to make anyone feel at ease, which is critical to building relationships. Few people can match her commitment and work ethic. Jill is Pittsburgh’s A/E/C professional matchmaker, and I greatly respect what she’s been able to accomplish. On top of that, it’s just a true joy to know and collaborate with her.”

“CIST is the best organization I’ve been associated with in my forty years of business development. If you need an introduction or a meeting arranged, Jill McKibbin, CIST President, is more than willing to assist. She is the ultimate leader in our business!”

Douglas J. Wagner, Senior Associate NOELKER AND HULL ASSOCIATES, INC.

I’ve known Jill McKibbin, owner of McKibbin Consulting, for over four years and have been actively part of her CIST groups. These are the best networking groups that I’ve found in the area that bring people together from the construction industry in one forum to discuss a multitude of projects that any one person finds as solid economic information to help further his/her business. Each person within the group is also welcoming and provides attentiveness to introductions for other group members.
