Leonard Kaae Promoted to President of Black Construction Corporation

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC) (the “Company”), a leading civil, building and specialty construction company, announced today that Leonard Kaae has been recently promoted to President of Black Construction Corporation (“Black Construction”), the Company’s Guam-based subsidiary. Mr. Kaae has worked for Black Construction for more than 40 years, most recently leading the firm’s operations and its approximately 2,000 employees as Senior Vice President and General Manager. Under Mr. Kaae’s leadership, Black Construction has grown to be the largest general contractor in Guam and the second-largest employer on the island (behind the U.S. federal government). Black Construction has consistently been one of Tutor Perini’s most successful and profitable business units, with a record backlog and a large pipeline of bidding opportunities that are expected to increase over the next decade as the U.S. government prioritizes funding for the Pacific Deterrence Initiative and other strategic infrastructure investments in Guam and throughout the Indo-Pacific region.

“Leonard exemplifies the type of high caliber leader that Tutor Perini is very fortunate to have leading our Indo-Pacific operations. He is a consummate professional and vital to the continued growth of our business in the region and globally,” said Gary Smalley, CEO and President of Tutor Perini. “We congratulate Leonard on his well-deserved promotion.”
