From Construction Dive: Oakland Terrace, Illinois-based Graycor has tapped Dave Wing as the company’s new CEO, according to a Dec. 3 news release. Prior to his appointment, Wing was the president and chief operating officer of Graycor for five years.
Wing started work with Graycor as a project engineer in 1991, according to the announcement. During his 33-year tenure, Wing was promoted several times, including to his most recent position of COO. In that role, he focused on short- and long-term strategic planning, developing a talent pipeline and creating strategies to improve management practices and introduce efficiencies.
Wing’s appointment also carries a historically significant milestone for the builder — he’s the first CEO who isn’t a member of the Gray family, which founded the company in 1921. The company’s prior CEO, Mel Gray, started in the position 1971 and last served in 2013, a public relations official for the company told Construction Dive.
