Boston, MA  Suffolk has hired Tony Rango as president of Suffolk west region. Rango will be responsible for leading Suffolk operations in its existing markets of San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego and expanding the company’s presence throughout the state of California. Rango will leverage his leadership skills, business development experience, in-depth industry knowledge and understanding of the self-performance function to position Suffolk’s west coast operations for sustainable growth and success.
“We are excited that Tony has joined the Suffolk family to lead our West Coast operations,” said John Fish, chairman and CEO of Suffolk. “Tony has the visionary leadership, unparalleled industry experience, reputation for excellence and strong local relationships that will allow us to greatly expand our presence in the region, attract the very best talent and strengthen our leadership position and brand presence in the California construction market.” 
Before joining Suffolk, Rango held leadership positions at Webcor Builders for more than 22 years. At Webcor, Rango served as executive vice president and chief operating officer where he oversaw all operational activities, executive management and staffing for projects and led the company’s Northern California business unit. His industry experience also includes business development, operational efficiencies, budgetary oversight, jobsite safety, employee engagement and client satisfaction.
Aligned with the strength of its new leadership team, earlier this year Suffolk announced an expansion from its core business of construction into additional vertical service lines to create a fully-integrated platform that adds value for clients across the entire building lifecycle. The company also launched a new brand identity to reflect its broader future ambitions and unique position and capabilities in the industry.
Suffolk is a national enterprise that invests, innovates, and builds. Suffolk is an end-to-end business that provides value throughout the entire project lifecycle by leveraging its core construction management services with vertical service lines that include real estate capital investment, design, self-perform construction services, technology start-up investment and innovation research/development.
Suffolk is a national company with $4.5 billion in annual revenue, 2,400 employees and main offices in Boston (headquarters), New York, Miami, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Estero, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. Suffolk serves clients in every major industry sector, including healthcare, science and technology, education, gaming, transportation/aviation, and commercial.
