some of IMC’s most complex projects dur-

$150-million expansion of the King of
Prussia Mall. That project converted the
shopping center into the second-largest re-

250,000-sq-ft addition over an active
parking lot and four-lane road.
Liberato is active in business develop-
ment. He cold-called the developer of a

a $32-million senior living facility on the
site. While typically leading four or five
projects at a time, Liberato also heads
IMC’s technology innovation. He has in-
stituted several project-management soft-
ware packages at the firm. He researched
options, convinced leadership to invest in
the software and trained the staff to use it.
In his free time, Liberato volunteers
for a youth mentoring program. After
learning about the program’s office space
needs, he managed the fit-out of its new
headquarters. Besides donating his con-
struction management services, he co-
ordinated the donation of $75,000 in
labor and materials. Liberato performed
a similar service for a program that pro-
