The Heritage Group, owner of US Aggregates, named Greg Kelly chief executive officer of its Heritage Construction & Materials division (HC&M). Kelly joins the Heritage Group from WSP, a premier global engineering professional services firm based in Canada, where he served as president and CEO of WSP in the United States.
As president and CEO of WSP USA, Kelly led a team of close to 10,000 planners, engineers, scientists, and construction and program managers shaping today’s communities. His teams planned, designed and managed construction of major infrastructure projects across the United States and around the globe for some of the world’s largest companies, utilities and governments.
Kelly’s career includes several designations and leadership roles in the infrastructure industry, including election to the National Academy of Construction, The Moles, and as a member of the Construction & Industry Round Table. He is passionate about the future of infrastructure and the impact it has in building communities worldwide.
“We are thrilled Greg will be joining our strong Heritage Construction & Materials business. He brings deep global experience in infrastructure and a passion for talent development and high performing teams,” said Amy Schumacher, president of The Heritage Group. “Greg shares the values on which we have built our business over the last 90 years, and we are confident he will build upon our client-focused, innovative approach and continue to expand our HC&M business.”
Kelly joins Heritage Construction & Materials at a terrific time as safety and innovation in infrastructure development are focus areas around the country. HC&M companies provide expertise in asphalt products, aggregate supply, and road and bridge construction services, primarily in the Midwest, West Coast and China. The group has designed Critical Commerce Corridors to separate cars and trucks to increase safety and improve traffic flow on the nation’s major roadways.
“I am excited to join the Heritage Construction & Materials family and work closely with this group of impressive leaders, core customers and suppliers who share my interest in community-building through creative, efficient and safe infrastructure,” Kelly said.
