LENEXA, KS — Henderson Companies announces Jon Runyan as the new President of subsidiary Henderson Building Solutions, a national design-build construction management and commissioning firm. Runyan, who brings nearly two decades of construction management and leadership experience, is charged with leading day-to-day operations as well as the execution of the strategic vision for the firm.

Prior to joining Henderson, Runyan served as Vice President of the Kansas City, Missouri, office of a national commercial design-build contractor. During his tenure, he helped grow the office from $68 million to $189 million in annual billings across the region, where most of the firm’s work was focused on commercial, industrial, and health care projects.

“Jon is passionate about driving growth, embracing innovation, and delivering complex projects, making him an excellent fit for the forward-thinking culture we’ve fostered at Henderson,” said Kevin Lewis, President of Henderson Companies and CEO and President of Henderson Engineers. “He’s equally excited to take a leading role in the growth of our national presence, diverse service offerings, and engineer-led design build approach. Just as importantly, Jon is deeply people-first. He’s a passionate developer of talent and is committed to enhancing the employee experience. In short, Jon is joining Team Henderson because he believes in what we do, how we do it, and the people who make it all possible. We look forward to leveraging the expertise he brings.”

As President of Henderson Building Solutions, Runyan will serve as a key member of the executive leadership team, helping shape the future initiatives and growth of the organization.

“Henderson has a reputation for its entrepreneurial culture, strong support services, and the ability to serve clients all the way from the inception of a project through the end of the life of a building,” Runyan said. “I’m equally as passionate about being a true partner to our clients and look forward to building on the relationships and success that Henderson has cultivated throughout its 55-year history.”
