Nationally ranked general contractor W.E. O’Neil Construction has 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.

“I am so grateful for the opportunities I’ve had over the past 35 years at W.E. O’Neil,” said Guthrie. “This role is an incredible opportunity for me to give back to the company and people who have supported me throughout my career. I’m excited about the future of O’Neil. We’re building on a strong foundation to become even stronger, more efficient, and the best client partner in the market.”

Finn praised Guthrie’s leadership and experience: “Todd has been an extraordinary leader for decades, building our Colorado operations from the ground up, guiding Arizona and Tennessee, and mentoring countless employee-owners along the way. His ability to see the big picture while developing individuals makes him the right leader to unify our operations and position the company for long-term growth.”

Guthrie holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MBA from the University of Denver, Daniels College of Business. He is a LEED Accredited Professional and serves on the AGC of Colorado Board of Directors and the International Advisory Board of the CU Real Estate Center.
