Richard Cavallaro, a veteran New York City construction executive, now is CEO of Syosset, N.Y., design and CM firm The LiRo Group.
A former Gilbane Building Co. executive vice president and the contractor's New York-New Jersey region chief, he succeeds Luis M. Tormenta, who retired in November after 15 years. The move follows LiRo Group’s shareholder purchase agreement in September 2020 with investment firm Global Infrastructure Solutions Inc. to become part of its organization platform. Cavallaro joined Gilbane in February 2020 after 25 years at Skanska USA, where he was president and CEO, and also headed its civil construction unit.
