Who Leads, How We Lead

We don't separate leadership from the work.

Our leaders built this group from the ground up — by solving real problems across construction, logistics, energy, and tech. With over 40 years of experience in essential industries, they’ve led teams, earned trust, and kept projects moving — in the field, in the office, and everywhere in between.

What sets us apart is a combination of structure, systems, and most importantly, people. We believe strong teams, clear direction, and shared accountability drive everything forward — and we lead with that in mind, every day.

Here are the people shaping that direction.
