2023 Commercial Real Estate Visionaries: John Finamore of EW Howell Construction Group

John Finamore
Director of Business Development
EW Howell Construction Group

 

John developed a refreshed synergistic vision and approach in forming the BD/marketing team, with our core values of quality, integrity, resiliency, and relationships. This ensures the industry knows what we stand for, not just what we do. These values drive internal communications, brand exposure, networking, and project pursuits, all with client-focused priority.

In his words, “Raise the bar at every turn.” He was recognized as technically knowledgeable and authentic, with traits of truth, honesty, and respect, which “didn’t fall far from the tree” as I possess and practice to this day.
