The Titan 100 recognizes Dallas-Fort Worth’s top 100 CEOs and C-level executives, the region’s most accomplished leaders who have redefined what it means to lead with vision, passion, and integrity while creating lasting impact across industries and communities.
Under Sloan’s leadership, VLK has evolved beyond a traditional architecture firm into a strategic advisory organization that helps clients navigate complex challenges spanning facility planning, bond strategy, operational consulting, and technology integration.
