Hunter Buildings Announces Draper as Chief Operating Officer
HOUSTON, TX — Hunter Buildings announces Michael Draper as the blast-resistant building firm's Chief Operating Officer. In his new role, Draper is responsible for overseeing Hunter's day-to-day operations. In addition, he will work with company leadership to implement strategic direction and values to move the company forward.
A seven-year veteran of Hunter Buildings, Draper previously served as Chief Financial Officer. He brings more than 20 years of operational and financial experience to his work, with sectors including manufacturing, construction, specialty rental services, midstream/energy, and telecommunications.
Prior work has placed him in leadership positions ranging from Chief Operating Officer, to Chief Financial Officer and Director — for both public and private companies, and those ranging from start-ups to Fortune 100 endeavors. Draper earned his bachelor's degree in accounting from Texas State University and is a Certified Public Accountant.
“I've been deeply involved with the operational side of our company for a while now, but this new role gives me the opportunity to take that work to the next level,” he said. “I'm ready to help move Hunter Buildings ahead.”
Company President Sam LaVergne commended Draper for his new undertaking with the firm, noting that his colleague's extensive experience, dedication to the company, and can-do attitude make him uniquely prepared for the responsibilities.
“Michael has been with us since 2015, and he has always proven himself to be a loyal company advocate,” LaVergne said. “With his leadership, I know good things are in the future for both Hunter Buildings and the clients we serve.”
