Rossie's experience
Rossie, a 21-year Webcor veteran, was elevated to EVP and COO in April 2020. Before that, he served in several executive leadership roles at Webcor. These included senior vice president and member of Webcor's executive team.

Such high-profile projects include the UC Merced 2020 Expansion. It also includes the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Headquarters, SFMOMA Expansion, and the California Academy of Sciences.
In addressing Rossie's promotion to president, Pedersen said, "He has reorganized the way we plan and execute work to drive even more consistency across all our groups and take advantage of the best talent, regardless of where they sit in the organization chart.
"Matt has an innate ability to see the big picture yet still dive into details and tactics," Pedersen said. "That unique combination builds a high level of confidence about how we would build any project. It also allows him to train others or make the final sell to secure work by developing unique solutions, which earns owners' trust quickly."
