Suffolk hires Leatherbee, Trovini and Sharkey
Boston, MA Suffolk has hired new leadership to bolster its visionary strategy to “Invest/Innovate/Build” and position itself for future success.
Suffolk hired Charley Leatherbee as the new president of Suffolk Ventures, the real estate investment arm of Suffolk. Suffolk Ventures is an investor-oriented entity that invests side-by-side with developers and draws upon Suffolk’s preconstruction design and estimating expertise to improve project feasibility and drive synergistic value for clients. Prior to his new position at Suffolk Ventures, Leatherbee held leadership positions at Trammell Crow Co. where he opened an office in Boston and was responsible for development and investment activity in the New England region.
Suffolk also welcomed Mike Trovini as the new head of FUSE, Suffolk’s self-perform function; and Construction Solutions which consists of Suffolk Illuminate, the company’s design-assist team, and Suffolk Edge, the organization’s planning and scheduling solution. Trovini joined Suffolk from The Related Companies, where he served as senior advisor providing strategic guidance to project teams on the successful executions of the Hudson Yards Eastern Rail Yards, Lantern House, 15 Central Park West and other signature projects in New York City.
And Suffolk hired Kevin Sharkey as executive vice president of national business development. Sharkey will be responsible for leading and executing business development strategies to help expand Suffolk’s reach and build their relationships.
“The real estate and construction industry continues to change rapidly. Rather than simply react to these changes, Suffolk has undergone an exciting expansion and re-invention that will position us for future success and growth,” said John Fish, chairman and CEO of Suffolk. “One of the most critical ingredients of sustainable success is strong leadership. Suffolk’s hiring of Charley, Mike and Kevin reflect a strong commitment to our ‘Invest/Innovate/Build’ strategy. We are confident our organization is on the right path toward transforming our industry and redefining what it means to be a builder.”
