Shanfelter was appointed Interim COO on March 26, 2019, to assist with the implementation of the company’s Invest, Scale, and Grow (ISG) initiative under its Process Improvement Plan, which has been substantially completed, while the company conducted a search. After he concluded his role as Interim COO, Shanfelter resumed functioning as an independent member of the company’s Board of Directors and is eligible to serve as a member of the various committees of the board.
“We have spent the past 10 months imbedding our ISG initiative processes within each of our divisions,” Shanfelter said. “Mark has assembled a great team to lead the company into the future. The work we have done has led to improving results and sets us up for continued improvement as we move ahead.”
“Austin brought his wealth of knowledge and experience to bear during his time as Interim COO,” said Mark Stauffer, Orion Group Holdings’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “He played a key role in driving a recommitment to our operating performance expectations and a reinforcement of a high level of accountability throughout our organization. Going forward, the company will operate with separate senior operations executives over its marine and concrete segments.”
