Roncelli, a Sterling Heights-based construction services company, has expanded its executive leadership team under the direction of company President and CEO Gino Roncelli.
Four new chief officer positions were added to Roncelli’s management group, developed in response to the company’s continued growth, and to support evolving corporate goals and future expansion.
The newly created roles include Jim Carnacchi as chief preconstruction officer, Michael Cairns as CFO, Paul Day as COO of core markets, and Jereme Poxson as COO of specialized markets. All chief officers also are partners in Roncelli’s employee-owned company structure.
“The Roncelli company roots began humbly as a family-founded small business, but fast forward nearly six decades later, and we are operating at an entirely different scope and speed, and we need, now more than ever, to expand and further specialize the leadership team that will carry us into the future,” says Roncelli. “The collective knowledge and expertise between Jim, Michael, Paul, and Jereme is exactly what we need at the helm to help support our momentum and long-term vision.”
Carnacchi, promoted from vice president of estimating, is responsible for leading the company’s preconstruction and estimating division, including management of the bidding process, awarding contracts to subcontractors, and ensuring accurate cost estimates for projects. With Roncelli since 1994, Carnacchi’s experience and expertise is critical in setting the foundation for each project’s success. He is a graduate of Ferris State University with a degree in construction management. He has a Michigan builders license and is U.S. Green Building Council LEED and OSHA 30 certified.
Cairns is responsible for oversight of the company’s accounting department, financial operations, and risk management. He has been a certified public accountant in Michigan since 1994 and has been with Roncelli since 1999. He is a member of the Michigan Association of CPAs, past president and board member of CFMA-Detroit and past board member of Detroit Area Construction Association. He is a graduate of University of Detroit Mercy with a BBA in accountancy.
As COO of core markets, Day, the former vice president of construction operation, supports project management and supervises team members with schedule management, quality of performance, cost control, and project delivery. Another company veteran, Day, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., has been with Roncelli since 1994. He earned an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering from Michigan State University and a graduate degree from Oakland University in engineering management.
Poxson, Roncelli’s COO of specialized markets, formerly served as vice president of health care. In his new role, Poxson, who joined Roncelli in 1998 as an estimator, is responsible for operation oversight and excellence, as well as driving strategic growth, across Roncelli’s specialized markets, including: health care, education, government, and select regional sectors. Poxson, a Michigan native, graduated from Western Michigan University.
