Stuart E. Graham Jr., who is credited with shaping Stockholm-based Skanska AB into a global buildings and transportation contracting giant as the first non-Swede to become its CEO and chairman, died on June 23 at age 76. The cause and location of his death were not disclosed.
“Stu provided a steady hand during a period of growth for Skanska, and the company of today owes much to his time as CEO and then later heading the board," says firm Chairman Hans Biörck in a statement to ENR. "His vision was vital for developing the company both in the U.S. and globally. He was also a great communicator and set the basis for our culture and values.”
