DeRooy of Skanska to succeed Sinicin as CFO for U.S. building operations

 

 

Manhattan, NY Skanska, a global development and construction firm, has begun a leadership transition in its U.S. building operations. Leo Sinicin, chief financial officer of both Skanska USA Building and Skanska USA Inc., will retire effective December 31, 2025. Dan DeRooy will succeed Sinicin as CFO for both businesses, effective January 1, 2026. DeRooy will join the Skanska USA Building senior leadership team and report directly to Clay Haden, president and CEO, Skanska USA Building.

Sinicin’s departure marks the close of a distinguished 30-year career with the company, including two decades as CFO for Skanska USA Building, 13 of which he also served as CFO for Skanska USA Inc. 

A 20-year veteran of Skanska, DeRooy currently serves as vice president of finance, Skanska USA building. Previously, he spent 12 years as corporate director of financial reporting and seven years as financial reporting manager. DeRooy joined Skanska in 2004 after five years as a financial and business analyst at Merck-Medco.

DeRooy holds an M.B.A. in Finance from Montclair State University and a B.A. in Elementary Education from Calvin University.

“Leo has been a cornerstone of our financial leadership and a trusted advisor through every major strategic decision in the U.S. over the past several decades,” said Haden. “His contributions are far too many to mention, and his deep expertise, candor, and insight have helped shape the business we are today. We are enormously grateful for his commitment and service to Skanska.” 

“Dan brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of our business,” said Haden. “Leo set a high bar, and I’m confident Dan will build on that legacy with vision and integrity.”
