Graycor's New Leadership Era: Dave Wing Promoted to CEO

Graycor, a prominent player in the construction sector, has recently announced the promotion of Dave Wing to the position of Chief Executive Officer. This significant change was revealed by Co-Chairs Matthew Gray and Steven Gray, paving the way for a new chapter in the company's storied 100-year history. This promotion, effective immediately, sees Wing stepping up from his roles as President and COO, a position he held for the last five years.

Coming from a background as a project engineer, Wing embarked on his journey with Graycor back in 1991. Over his impressive 33-year career, he has witnessed and contributed to the company’s substantial growth and evolution. His dedication to safety, client engagement, and performance excellence has been pivotal in steering Graycor towards its ambitious goal of reaching nearly $1 billion in annual revenue.

In the words of Matthew Gray, "Dave has created a culture of servant leadership and has committed himself to nurturing the growth of our people." This ethos of prioritizing people and performance will continue to shape the company's values under Wing's leadership. As the first CEO in Graycor's history not directly linked to the Gray family, Wing's appointment signifies the firm’s commitment to develop and empower dedicated long-term employees.

Reflecting on his new role, Wing expressed enthusiasm about fostering a work environment that promotes innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence. “I look forward to continuing my commitment to creating environments that foster teamwork and mentorship,” he stated. Wing believes that the foundation of a healthy corporate culture is essential for both employee satisfaction and client success.

His promotion comes after a period of careful planning and preparation aimed at ensuring Graycor's continued forward momentum. The company's strategic vision underscores the importance of succession planning in maintaining stability during leadership transitions, thereby allowing for sustained growth and expansion.

Mel Gray, the Non-Executive Chairman, corroborated this sentiment, noting that under the guidance of an independent board and a capable management team, Graycor is well-positioned to serve the diverse needs of the construction market across the nation.

Wing holds a bachelor’s degree in construction management and engineering from Bradley University, equipping him with the professional insight necessary for steering the firm through prevailing industry challenges.

Since its inception in 1921, Graycor has been a leader in construction, maintenance, and facilities services, providing outstanding project solutions throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. With over 1,000 construction specialists, Graycor prides itself on its ability to tackle complex projects while delivering flexibility to meet client demands. As Wing steps into his new role, all eyes will be on Graycor to see how it continues to develop and shape its legacy in the evolving construction landscape.
