PITTSBURGH, November 21, 2023 – PWCampbell, a 113-year-old, fourth-generation retail services and design-build firm, announces that its long-time President & CEO James Caliendo will be retiring on December 31, 2023. Caliendo started at the Company in 1999 as Senior Vice President and has served in his current role for the past 18 years.
PWCampbell Principal John Campbell said, “Jim has been a tremendous leader and friend over the years, resulting in the diversification and growth of the great company we have today. We wish him the absolute best in this next chapter of his life.”
Caliendo added, “This decision comes with many emotions, but I know it’s in the best interest of both me and the Company. I will now get to spend more time with family, and I have always said that when the next generation of leadership and management is ready to take over, and they can do my job as well or better than me, it’s time. I realized that now is that time.”
For the past four years, PWCampbell has been preparing for this succession. Principals and Owners Erin Campbell, Carlin Campbell and Amanda Campbell Caliendo will continue to work closely with an executive team which includes Dean Giordano, Executive Vice President, Design & Construction; Kevin Poirot, Executive Vice President, Branded Environments; Glenn Grau, Senior Vice President, Sales; and Ben Mahtani, Senior Vice President & CIO/CTO. This team has the skills and diversity to take the company forward.
On January 1, 2024, Carlin Campbell will assume the title of CEO, and Dean Giordano will be promoted to Executive Vice President & COO.
Caliendo said, “I love this company and feel it is well positioned for great things. Our owners are very talented and experienced, and our executive team has an average of 20 years being with PWCampbell. The past few years have been record-breaking, and I expect that to continue. The leadership team at PWCampbell is strong, and I can’t wait to see where they take the Company in the future.”
