“She has been instrumental in guiding the direction of the company and aligning our strategic growth initiatives,” said Alan Antoniewicz, president and chief operating officer of Spancrete. “As our industry changes, Kimberly sees to it that our business does too. She was responsible for the development and execution of our virtual design and construction team – guiding their efforts to utilize the most innovative technologies available that add value for our customers.”

In her role as senior vice president, she leads business development, preconstruction and estimating, virtual design and construction, overall strategic marketing and brand development and corporate culture and communication.

Wacker was the first woman on the AGC of Greater Milwaukee board and she also sits on the board of the Precast Concrete Institute’s Illinois/Wisconsin chapter where she helps guide the organization’s local precast construction strategies.
