LeChase Construction Services, LLC is pleased to announce that two of its operational leaders have been named executive vice presidents.
Seth London
Based in Durham, NC, Seth London will continue to lead LeChase’s southeast region, with a focus on expanding the company’s business in North Carolina and surrounding areas. London, who has over two decades of experience in all phases of construction, joined LeChase in the 2016 acquisition of a multinational contractor’s North Carolina operations, which he had been leading. He was named a LeChase vice president in 2018 and senior vice president in 2024. He has an MBA in finance, as well as a BS in construction engineering and management, from North Carolina State University.
“Seth’s personal integrity and values are key reasons many of the employees who were part of the 2016 acquisition joined our already talented southeast team and remain part of our organization today,” said LeChase President Kyle Sayers. “Seth also excels in building relationships with outside partners, which has driven significant growth and brand recognition for LeChase in the southeast. I can’t think of a better steward of the LeChase culture as we work to further expand our reach in that geography.”
Brian Russo
Based in Rochester, NY, Brian Russo currently provides executive oversight to LeChase’s self-perform business, several joint ventures and several of the firm’s New York State offices. He will broaden that role to cover more geographies and initiatives, primarily in the northeast. Russo joined LeChase in 2011 as the preconstruction lead for Conifer-LeChase Construction, after serving as a project engineer, cost estimator and chief estimator at other firms. He was named operations manager in 2013, appointed vice president in 2016 and senior vice president in 2022. He attended Pennsylvania State University, earning a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering. He also has LEED AP® certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
“Brian’s broad industry experience has given him a keen sense of field operations, the construction process, and customers, “ Sayers noted. “He knows how to set-up projects for success, as evidenced by a track record of delivering high-quality, on-time, and on-budget results. He also does an exemplary job of sharing his knowledge to mentor and develop others within the organization.”
These promotions, effective immediately, mark the first senior leadership changes Sayers has made since being named LeChase president last October. “As LeChase continues to grow, it’s critical to have exceptional leaders like Brian and Seth who thoroughly understand both our company and the industry,” he said. “As resources to our SBUs, they will help refine strategies and drive timely decisions – making us nimbler and more effective in our pursuit of new opportunities going forward.
