10 Minutes With … EMCOR CEO-in-Waiting Tony Guzzi
Despite a recession that has deeply affected the bottom lines of even the country’s strongest construction firms, specialty contracting giant EMCOR Group, Norwalk, Conn., still managed a monster year in 2009, reporting $5.5 billion in worldwide revenue and nearly $700 million in the New York region. But as the EMCOR plots its way forward in a still-uncertain market, they’ll be doing it without its CEO Frank MacInnis, who announced earlier this year that he will retire at the beginning of 2011 after a successful 16-year run that saw the company grow by nearly $4 billion.
Replacing MacInnis will be Tony Guzzi, currently the firm’s president and chief operating officer, who currently oversees EMCOR’s day-to-day operations. Guzzi recently participated in a conference call with several McGraw-Hill Construction editors from around the country.
