As Bond Brothers positions itself for continued growth across multiple high-demand sectors, the Medford, Massachusetts-based general contractor has brought on an experienced financial strategist to help guide its expansion. The firm announced on May 20 that Suzanne Roeder, who previously held senior roles at Suffolk Construction, Bain & Company, and Perch, has been named chief financial officer.

Roeder steps into the role as Bond Brothers reports more than $800 million in revenue for 2024 and ramps up operations along the East Coast. The contractor is currently expanding in key sectors such as healthcare, infrastructure, life sciences, and power construction, according to a company news release shared with Construction Dive.

“Suzanne’s appointment reflects our commitment to modernizing the way we think about growth and financial leadership,” said Tony Bond, CEO and president of Bond Brothers, in the release. “Her strategic vision, combined with her proven ability to drive organizational performance across multiple functions, strongly supports our efforts toward continued geographic and service expansion, optimized customer service and experiences, and overall profitability.”

A Track Record of High-Growth Leadership

Roeder most recently served as chief growth officer at Boston-based Suffolk Construction, where she led initiatives tied to innovation and operational efficiency. Before that, she was chief business operations officer at ecommerce startup Perch, where she was instrumental in scaling the company’s revenue from $30 million to nearly $500 million. During her tenure there, she also oversaw more than 35 acquisitions and played a central role in building the company’s international growth strategy.

Her earlier career includes a decade-long trajectory at Bain & Company, the global management consulting firm headquartered in Boston. Roeder held positions as chief operating officer and later as executive vice president of global strategic initiatives. The company noted that under her leadership, Bain achieved “the highest profit-per-partner and employee engagement scores of any Bain location.”

Succeeding a Seasoned Leader

Roeder takes over the CFO role from Richard Small, who is retiring after guiding Bond Brothers through several years of record-breaking performance. The firm credited Small with helping lay the financial groundwork for the company’s current expansion push.

Academic and Industry Credentials

Roeder holds an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management and a Bachelor of Science in systems engineering from the University of Virginia. Her blend of strategic, operational, and financial expertise is expected to align with Bond Brothers’ goals of maintaining both strong internal performance and client-focused growth.

With Roeder now in the CFO seat, Bond Brothers is reinforcing its leadership team at a pivotal moment, as it scales its regional reach and sharpens its competitive edge in some of the nation’s most active construction markets.
