LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Suffolk, one of the most innovative and successful builders in the country, has hired Jeff Wood as Executive Vice President of Las Vegas and promoted Chris Anderson to Chief Operating Officer of National Gaming and Las Vegas. Wood will lead Suffolk’s Las Vegas business, while Anderson will oversee the company’s national gaming portfolio and Las Vegas operations. Together, they will deepen relationships with clients and trade partners and apply Suffolk’s technology- and data-driven approach to support precise planning, dependable execution, and schedule certainty. They will report to Pete Tuffo, President of Gulf Coast Region, Las Vegas and National Gaming at Suffolk.

Mr. Wood will set the strategic direction for Suffolk’s Las Vegas business, overseeing its portfolio, strengthening senior client relationships, and aligning people and technical resources with client and market priorities. In partnership with Suffolk’s national gaming leadership, he will build the capabilities and relationships to support continued growth in Southern Nevada.

He joins Suffolk from McCarthy with over 25 years of experience and an extensive record delivering high-profile gaming, hospitality, and sports and entertainment projects throughout Las Vegas. His experience includes Allegiant Stadium, the renovation and expansion of Palms Casino Resort, the Circa Resort & Casino and Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas. Throughout his career, he has led complex projects that demanded rigorous coordination, aggressive schedules and seamless integration within active hospitality and entertainment environments.

“Jeff’s experience delivering complex projects throughout Las Vegas, combined with Chris’ deep market and industry knowledge, gives us a strong leadership team for this next phase of growth,” said Mr. Tuffo, President of Suffolk’s Gulf Coast Region, Las Vegas and National Gaming. “They understand the expectations of our clients operating in highly visible, schedule-driven environments and their leadership will help our teams deliver with the discipline, collaboration and innovation that define Suffolk.”

Mr. Anderson brings more than 40 years of construction management experience spanning nearly every phase of project delivery. Since joining Suffolk in 2025 as General Manager of its Las Vegas office, he has worked closely with clients and project teams to advance the company’s work in the region. As Chief Operating Officer of National Gaming and Las Vegas, he will oversee Suffolk's national gaming projects while continuing to align teams and resources, strengthen client partnerships, and drive consistent execution across Suffolk's Las Vegas projects.
