Suffolk appoints Davies as chief marketing officer

Boston, MA According to Suffolk, one of the most innovative and successful builders in the country, Jon Davies has joined the company as chief marketing officer (CMO), where he will lead Suffolk’s national marketing strategy to further strengthen the company’s brand, client engagement and growth initiatives. 

As Suffolk continues to expand its national footprint and approaches $10 billion in annual revenue, the addition of an enterprise marketing leader reflects the company’s focus on building a brand that matches its scale, impact and reputation for innovation across the country. In his role, Davies will serve as Suffolk’s national marketing leader, partnering closely with the executive team to strengthen the company’s brand, drive greater consistency across markets and support client engagement and long-term growth strategies. 

Suffolk has long embraced technology, data, and innovation to build smarter, safer, and more efficiently. From predictive analytics to digital modeling and jobsite automation, these efforts create more value for clients and continue to differentiate how projects are delivered.

“We’re continuing to build a more advanced, more connected company, and the work we’re doing today is different than it was even a few years ago,” said Katy O’Neil, chief brand and culture officer of Suffolk. “Jon has built marketing teams that can operate in that kind of complex environment, and that’s exactly what we need as we continue to grow.” 

Davies brings more than 20 years of experience as a marketing executive with a strong track record of modernizing marketing teams and functions to drive business growth. He has a successful track record for positioning marketing as a true strategic partner, leveraging data, technology, and customer insight to deliver measurable impact, and translating complex strategies into clear, actionable execution.

Prior to joining Suffolk, Davies spent more than a decade at Fidelity Investments. During that time, he held several senior leadership roles that included leading the institutional marketing team as well as an enterprise-wide marketing transformation initiative focused on driving the adoption of omni-channel customer journeys and several additional marketing technology platforms requiring modernization.
