Chief Commercial Officer (CCO)
Summary
A $300M+ Design, Manufacture, Construct (DMC) company is seeking a Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) to lead its commercial function and scale the business to $1B+. This executive will succeed the CEO as the primary commercial leader, with a focus on building strategic relationships, solving complex client challenges, and positioning the company as a platform solution for systemic problems in commercial facility development—particularly in healthcare, retail, and industrial sectors.
