Chicago-based general contractor W.E. O’Neil Construction promoted Todd Guthrie to the role of Chief Operating Officer.

Guthrie previously served as Regional President for Arizona, Colorado, and Tennessee, leading three of O’Neil’s fastest-growing business units. With nearly 40 years of industry experience and 35 years at W.E. O’Neil, he brings deep operational knowledge and a proven track record of leadership to the company’s national operations as the firm celebrates its 100th year of building.

Guthrie began his W.E. O’Neil career in 1990 and went on to establish the company’s Colorado office in 1999, which he grew from the ground up into one of O’Neil’s strongest regions. Having navigated multiple business cycles and every aspect of the company’s operations, Guthrie brings unique perspective and valuable experience to share with O’Neil’s business unit leaders across the country.

As COO, Guthrie will partner closely with Chief Executive Officer John Finn and the executive team to unify national operations, strengthen collaboration among regions, and guide the company’s continued growth.
