Third-generation family member takes helm as company enters new chapter with strategic momentum.
Gray announced a key leadership transition that marks both a moment of continuity and forward momentum for the business.
After 26 years of dedicated leadership in various roles, Brian Jones is stepping down from the role of CEO to serve outside Gray. Under his tenure, Jones navigated significant industry shifts, growing revenue by nearly 300% from just over $1 billion to more than $5 billion and experienced a 170% growth in team members with more than 1,300 today. While the official transition takes place on August 15, 2025, Jones will serve as an advisor throughout the remainder of the year to ensure a smooth transition and support the company’s long-term vision and success.
Stepping into the role is Rebekah Gray, a third-generation member of the Gray family and daughter of Howard Gray, who led the company after the untimely death of his father in 1972. Rebekah brings a deep understanding of the company’s legacy and a principled leadership style rooted in trust, collaboration, and values.
As part of this strategic focus, Gray is proud to announce its selection as the design-build partner for an expansion of the Clemens Food Group pork processing facility in Pennsylvania. This milestone reflects our continued strength in integrated design-build project delivery — with more exciting wins to come across our markets. This reflects the company’s continued ability to deliver high-impact projects through seamless collaboration between design and construction teams.
With a new generation at the helm and a renewed commitment to design-build excellence, Gray is poised to lead with values and impact in the years ahead.
