Connico, a national construction consultancy that services the aviation, civil, transportation, institutional, commercial, military and industrial markets, announced that it has named E. Rose Gowder, the daughter of the company’s late founder, Connie Gowder, as its president.
“Rose has been on Connico job sites since she was a child and has grown up watching the hard work of her late mother as she grew Connico into a leading, national construction consultancy,” said David Hunley, co-owner and vice president. “As a DBE/WBE, we are excited to have another strong female leader at the helm of Connico, and we know Rose will continue building on Connie’s incredible legacy.”
Rose earned her bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Following graduation, she served as an architectural associate at Studio Four, a leading architecture and design firm based in Knoxville.
In her new role as president, Rose will oversee the company’s day-to-day operations and management, including planning, accounting, financing, legalities, licensing and quality control. She will also be a key player in maintaining client relationships and ensuring project success from the ground up.
