RC Andersen Names New President, CEO

Industrial construction firm RC Andersen of Fairfield has named Neil Ascione as its new president. Robert Andersen, the company’s owner and president since its founding in 2006, will step into the CEO role, allowing Ascione to oversee daily company operations.

A graduate of Rutgers University with a BS in civil engineering, Ascione joined RC Andersen as a project manager before moving into project executive, vice president, and senior vice president positions with the company. Over the years, Ascione has managed many types and sizes of industrial construction projects, including multiple simultaneous rebuilds in the NJ Meadowlands due to Superstorm Sandy flooding, major single-story build-to-suit requirements, as well as multistory e-commerce buildings of up 3.8 million square feet each. Since RC Andersen merged with STO Building Group in November 2021, Ascione has been instrumental in facilitating a smooth integration.

“Neil’s organizational skills, his problem-solving ability, his innovational thirst, and his compassion for his employees make him a great leader,” says Bob Andersen, RC Andersen CEO. “I’m very confident in Neil and in the future of this company for decades to come.”

Andersen will continue his general oversight of the company but will continue to lead business development, preconstruction management, and collaboration across the STO Building Group network.

Founded in 2006 by Robert Andersen, RC Andersen is an industrial general contractor that offers comprehensive design solutions and project management for property owners, developers, and tenants. The company joined the STO Building Group family of companies in 2021.
