Wing joined Graycor as a project engineer in 1991 and has been promoted several times throughout the past 33 years. Through his safety leadership, client engagement and performance, the company has experienced profitable growth toward $1 billion in revenue.
"Dave has been responsible for creating a culture of servant leadership and growing the business through the growth of the people," said Matthew Gray, Graycor co-chairperson. “In his new role, Dave will provide direction and leadership in Graycor's next chapter while maintaining focus on our people, our performance excellence standards, and our ever-evolving client partnerships."
Prior to his promotion, Wing served as President and COO of Graycor for five years. Throughout his tenure, he focused on monitoring and maintaining Graycor's culture and values, short and long-term strategic planning, developing a talent pipeline, and creating strategies to improve management practices and introduce efficiencies.
"I look forward to continuing my commitment to creating environments that foster teamwork, collaboration, innovation, technical excellence and mentorship," Wing said. "I'm proud to continue working with this organization that has helped me and so many others to build their careers over the past several decades."
Wing is the company’s first CEO to not be a member of the Gray family. Graycor prepared for this transition over the past several years and strategically planned for company expansion in the future.
"Graycor presents a shining example of multi-generation family ownership spanning over 100 years," said Mel Gray, non-executive chairperson. "With guidance of an independent board of directors and solid family support, Wing and his able management team have positioned the company for continued growth serving the needs of the vast construction market from coast to coast."
