NEW YORK, N.Y.<\/strong> \u2013 Laura Bush, Director of Operations \u2013 NYC Metro Region, was recently featured on the cover of Commercial Observer<\/a> as part of a profile highlighting her leadership at Consigli and in the construction industry.<\/p>\n After completing a high school internship in her hometown of Blackburn, England that allowed her to shadow construction work on an active jobsite, Laura was inspired to pursue an education and a career in the field.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been a theme throughout Bush\u2019s three-decade career: Women are a rarity in construction. Women in top leadership positions are even rarer. Bush is one of those women.<\/em><\/p>\n Since relocating to New York in early 2001, Laura has worked her way up the ranks and has led major projects throughout the New York City area. In 2021, she joined Consigli as Director of Operations and now leads the region’s 125 employees across two offices.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a lot more women and a lot more diversity in the room. So, when you\u2019re talking about the trades and everyone else involved \u2014 they physically see the changes occurring right before their eyes. They have to get on board with it. We\u2019re not going backwards.<\/p>\n
