Grace Bueckendorf Wright has been named vice president at BEX Construction Services, a design-build general contractor in Maryland Heights, Missouri, primarily serving the St. Louis region.
Wright was previously strategy director for Gorilla 76, a marketing agency specializing in revenue-focused marketing programs for technical business-to-business manufacturers. In that role, she led many successful initiatives in the areas of client results, employee development and retention, product development and sales support, and continuous performance improvement.
In her new position at BEX Construction, Wright will convert the strategy and marketing skills she honed over seven years at Gorilla 76 into collaborating with BEX’s engineering and construction professionals to identify strategic initiatives, refine marketing and grow the firm. In 2023, the 10-year-old firm ranked as St. Louis’ fifth fastest-growing private company based on a two-year growth rate of 232%.
Wright grew up in the construction business. Her mother was an architect, and her father, grandfather and great-grandfather all began their careers as carpenters. Her father, Randy Bueckendorf, is founder and president of BEX Construction.
