(Denver, Colo.) October 4, 2023 – Gilmore Construction Corporation, a prominent general contractor headquartered in Denver, is pleased to announce the promotion of Enrique Elizondo to the position of Vice President of Construction Operations.
Elizondo’s responsibilities include the oversight and management of Gilmore’s strategic business plans for all business unit operations, implementing strategic goals, and ensuring all Gilmore operation teams continue to build high-quality projects and strong client relationships. This seamless transition took place shortly after Bob Bustos, former Vice President of Construction Operations, came to retire in September 2023. Elizondo will work closely with CEO & President Jake Gilmore, Executive Vice President Edweena Gilmore and other key leadership team members to collaborate on key business initiatives.
Enrique Elizondo, who previously served as Gilmore’s Senior Project Executive, has been an integral part of the company since 2021. With nearly three decades of construction experience, he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the organization. Elizondo’s journey within the construction industry has seen him take on various roles, ranging from project engineer, superintendent, senior project manager and project executive, equipping him with the field insight required to provide effective support to Gilmore’s project teams. His extensive experience further strengthens the already robust leadership team at Gilmore Construction.
“Our entire leadership team is excited about what Enrique’s promotion means to the future of our company,” said CEO & President Jake Gilmore. “Enrique brings experience and a wealth of knowledge to help advance Gilmore Construction’s overarching business goals. His invaluable perspective on strategic expansion and construction enhancement will significantly hone our construction operations in support of our client partnerships, and, most importantly, the development of our employees.”
Elizondo’s extensive ties to the small and minority-owned business community are firmly established. He has served on the board of directors for the Hispanic Contractors of Colorado (HCC) and currently acts as the President on the board for Contractor Academy. This affiliation closely aligns with Gilmore’s mission of continuing to support other small and diverse businesses within the construction industry.
