Congratulations Brad Fry, VP of Organizational Development

Congratulations to Brad Fry on his promotion! As Vice President of Organizational Development for W.E. O’Neil nationally, Brad’s goal is to equip our leaders and managers to inspire their teams to realize their greatest potential.

After nearly 100 years of steady growth and topping $1 billion annual revenue, W.E. O’Neil defined this role for Brad to further grow our thriving employee-owner development programs and to enhance continuity of senior leadership strategy and planning as we continue to grow across 12 offices in six states.

“Organizational Development is critical to our future success, and Brad is a phenomenal person to lead it,” said Brett Dolan, Chief Human Resources Officer.

With 30+ years of experience—28 of those at W.E. O’Neil—Brad’s promotion is well-earned through his commitment to modeling our company value “WE are lifelong learners.”

“I like to say that most construction companies use people to build buildings,” says Brad. “At W.E. O’Neil, we use buildings to build people. The resources directed to training and development here demonstrate that commitment.”

Brett continues, “Brad is extremely dedicated to consuming any information which will inspire or enable our employee-owners to achieve their potential and purpose. He challenges our employees and organization to mix tried and true methods with innovative approaches and encourages employees, regardless of experience, to be resolute in their personal and professional development.”

Brad’s experience in people operations includes recruiting and retention, training and development, and performance management. He co-produces WEOCON (our annual convention), mentors our Leadership Development Group, and facilitates our leadership team meetings, training, and retreats.

I like to say that most construction companies use people to build buildings. At W.E. O’Neil, we use buildings to build people. The resources directed to training and development here demonstrate that commitment.
