DAVIS Construction, a general contractor in the Mid-Atlantic region, announces that
Dominic Argentieri has been named President and
Benjamin Cohen,
Ronald Juban,
Michael Pittsman, and
Meghan Ulrich have joined the firm’s leadership team as Principals, a transition effective January 1, 2023. In addition to these appointments,
Bill Moyer, announces his retirement as Principal, but will remain engaged in the organization through his role as an Advisor.
Argentieri, Cohen, Juban, Pittsman, and Ulrich will be added to the existing Corporate Leadership Team (CLT) that includes Jim Davis (CEO), Dennis Cotter (Founding Partner), and Peggy Jones (Principal).
Additionally, Michelle Christen, EVP-Finance, Constantine Athanas, EVP-General Counsel, and Chris Scanlon, Chief Innovation Officer, will partner with the CLT to round out the strategic planning committee, an executive body designed to establish priorities and set goals. DAVIS leadership agrees that this is a critical move for diversity and inclusion as well as elevating the firm’s growing senior team and creating more depth of leadership for the growing organization.
With offices in Rockville, Maryland, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, DAVIS is one of the largest general contractors in the Eastern United States, building projects across a wide span of market sectors ranging from commercial office buildings and interiors to life sciences and multi-family.
“One key priority for DAVIS is to continue to embrace and value diversity as a strength," Argentieri said. "With our growing leadership team, we are more committed than ever to intentionally building a workplace where our employees and partners are provided the necessary support to be successful. We know our clients will benefit from this inclusive philosophy, and this will make our organization strong for the long-term.”
“We look forward to continuing to invest in our talented team and to drive success through empowering our people," Pittsman said. "I am especially grateful for Bill Moyer’s leadership, as he has had tremendous passion in mentoring all of us to take on this new chapter in DAVIS’ growth.”
