Congratulations on becoming CEO! Tell us about W. E. O’ Neil’ s recent leadership changes. Thank you! Yes, this year marked a meaningful chapter in our leadership journey. I stepped into the CEO role as Brian Ramsay retired. After a decade leading our California region, it’ s an honor to take on this next chapter. Mike Byrne was promoted to president of our California operations, and Damian Eallonardo now leads Chicago and Austin as John Russell retired. Last year, Todd Guthrie became Regional President, with Matt Hoster stepping up as President of Colorado, and Gregg Riddle transitioned to VP of Tennessee.
