HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — NV5 Global Inc., a provider of professional and technical engineering and consulting solutions, elected Laurie Conner to its board of directors.
NV5 administration insists the addition of Conner to the NV5 leadership team, in conjunction with the recent appointment of Edward Codispoti as CFO, will strengthen the organization and strategically positions NV5 for accelerated organic growth.
Conner was elected on June 8 at NV5’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders. She is currently president and CEO of The Detection Group, a Silicon Valley-based provider of wireless, cloud-based solutions for protecting multistory commercial and residential buildings from water damage.
“I’m very pleased to work with the NV5 management team and to contribute to the strategy and direction of NV5,” Conner said. “I believe that my 35 years of experience managing engineering firms and high-tech service providers will help me to make key contributions to the board.”
Conner boasts experience in managing recurring revenue service companies and an extensive background in civil and environmental engineering. Her prior experience includes strategy, marketing, and business development with a number of high technology companies, including New Focus, Silicon Valley Group, and Raychem, where she helped to establish the emerging leak sensing market. Conner holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Duke University, a master’s degree in civil and environmental engineering from Stanford University, and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
On May 13, NV5 appointed Edward Codispoti as CFO. Codispoti has extensive experience in financial leadership positions at high-growth publicly traded corporations and has established a record of global financial planning and analysis as well as building scalable finance organizations for companies experiencing rapid expansion.
“It is exciting to be joining a company with a rapid growth trajectory, and I look forward to leading the progression of the finance and accounting functions as NV5 continues to grow in both revenue and shareholder value,” said Codispoti.
Dickerson Wright, P.E., chairman and CEO of NV5, said both new additions bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to NV5. He believes their contributions will strengthen NV5’s board of directors and executive management team for continued organic growth.
“Laurie’s expertise in civil and environmental engineering, along with her experience in managing recurring revenue service companies, will be very valuable to our board,” Wright said. “Ed’s track record of building scalable finance and accounting organizations for publicly traded companies will provide tangible benefits for our operations and maximized value for shareholders.”
