He added: “In our view, true innovation lies in its scalability. Our goal is not just to introduce cutting-edge technologies, but to ensure that innovative solutions thrive and reach their full potential.”

Marco Bonelli
Bonelli first came across Sektor in 2019 at Autodesk University in London. “When I was a general contractor, I found that if I needed support for IT or HR, it was very easy to find – similarly for BIM. But when I looked for support for construction technologies, my options were extremely limited – there was a big gap in the market. Sektor fills that gap.”
As well as Vinci, Sektor also works with multinational companies such as Ferrovial, Spie Batignolles, Parsons, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, and CCC in the Middle East, to name a few.
Reflecting on Vinci
Bonelli reflected on his time at Vinci and his reasons for taking the new role. “I’m proud of what we achieved at Vinci in the previous four years. I felt it was the right time to embrace a new adventure to develop as a construction technologist and to contribute to construction from a different angle.
“After my experience, the opportunity to join Sektor and to be at the forefront of digital transformation was one that was hard to pass up. Joining Sektor presents me with the possibility to work on some of the largest and most prestigious projects globally, including the likes of the new JFK Terminal One in New York, the Uberseequartier in Hamburg and the Integrated Casino Resort project at the Ellinikon in Athens.”
He concluded: “I want to do work that I love: I want to improve construction, not just for me, but the industry. With Sektor, I get to help not just one business, but as many businesses as possible to build better, faster and cheaper, not just in the UK, but across the world.”
