John Federico
Vice President, Group Leader Strategic Projects Group

John leads our teams that focus on projects with quick turnarounds combined with unique sets of challenges. He shares his 30 years of experience overseeing a wide range of renovation and fit-out work for clients in commercial, academic, and residential markets with his team so they can successfully deliver for our clients. John’s broad knowledge has been molded by his near two-decades of experience working as an owner of a GC firm. During this tenure, he worked almost exclusively with Harvard University and has contributed to renovation efforts for nearly every single residential dormitory on campus.
John challenges his team to consistently apply forward-thinking approaches and solution-focused attitudes to every project. John is a valuable resource and mentor for the junior members throughout the organization. He continually provides them the guidance and direction that they need to be successful in their own careers.
