Suffolk Construction recently announced it has hired Mark Sanborn as its new vice president and regional director responsible for expanding Suffolk’s market share and servicing clients in the healthcare, science-technology, and higher education sectors throughout New York. Suffolk has opened a new office in Tarrytown, New York, which will serve as a base of operations for Sanborn and his team of experienced Suffolk project managers, superintendents, and engineers.
Sanborn has more than 32 years of experience managing companies, project teams, and new ventures. Prior to accepting his new position at Suffolk Construction, Sanborn was a key leader for the New York-based healthcare and life science division for general contractor Structure Tone. He also held leadership positions with contractors Skanska USA Building, Inc. and Lehrer McGovern Bovis, and worked as a project manager for Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, the $18 billion global pharmaceutical and consumer products manufacturer.
“We are very excited to have Mark lead our New York-based operations to penetrate this new market, drive new business, and raise our visibility in this high-growth region of the country,” said Peter Campot, president of Suffolk’s Healthcare and Science-Technology divisions. “Mark has the leadership skills, hands-on management experience, and existing relationships with top-tier clients that will allow us to strengthen our presence in New York, deliver on our ‘build smart’ brand, and continue to expand into new markets in New Jersey, Western Connecticut, and the Mid-Atlantic.”
