In his new role, Smith will lead all operational aspects of the company, drive process alignment, and build bench strength to support the next phase of Tecta Americas development.
Mark Santacrose, President and CEO of Tecta America, says, Brynne brings tremendous experience in the construction industry at both the operational level as well as in business development. He is well-versed in all aspects of a national commercial enterprise and has managed acquisition integration and performance improvement. We look forward to leveraging that expertise as we move forward with integration and growth plans.
Smith states, I am excited for the opportunity to take my experience to another sector of the construction industry and develop the platform to position Tecta to continue to dominate the commercial roofing industry. Tecta is an exciting company in a highly fragmented industry, and I foresee growth opportunities by aligning the strengths and synergies of our local and regional businesses.
