“Over the past year, Matt has made an impressive contribution to Conlon, bringing a fresh perspective and energy to the company,” Tim said. “While working alongside Becky Conlon, Vice President of Business Development, and Poppy Conlon, Vice President of Marketing, Matt has already helped to advance our regional and national footprint with sizable new projects.”
Becky and Poppy round out the new executive team, which has already taken over daily company management. Becky and Poppy will continue in their Vice-Presidential roles and will grow into active fourth-generation owners of Conlon Construction.
Tim and brother Steve Conlon have been at the company helm since 1970. They will each continue with Conlon Construction in advisory roles and will co-chair the board. Succession planning has been a focus for them in recent months.
“It was important to us — and our many employees — that this plan maintain our values and the legacy we have so carefully built together,” Steve said. “With this team, we have achieved our goal.”
