Dallas, TX — Rogers-O'Brien Construction (RO) is proud to announce that Chief Innovation Officer Todd Wynne has been named a distinguished recipient of the Building Design + Construction (BD+C) 40 Under 40 Award. This prestigious accolade recognizes Todd's invaluable contributions to the field of construction innovation and his remarkable philanthropic work as Vice President of the Yellow Rose Gala Foundation.

Throughout his career, Todd has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation in construction. Starting with his creation of Project Atlas – an internal software startup aimed at becoming the Google Maps of construction documents – to his current role as the first Chief Innovation Officer at a general contractor, his leadership and vision have consistently driven the architecture, engineering, and construction industry forward.

"Todd is a tremendous leader and visionary,” said Justin McAfee, President and CEO of Rogers-O’Brien Construction. “His impact reaches far beyond our company and can be felt throughout the AEC industry. I feel blessed to call Todd both a peer and a friend, and I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this recognition for his countless contributions to our industry."

What sets Todd apart is not only his professional achievements but also his dedication to giving back to the community. Serving as Vice President of the Yellow Rose Gala Foundation, a 501(3)(c) organization, he has raised millions of dollars to find a cure for multiple sclerosis (MS). The Yellow Rose Gala was founded by Todd’s parents in 1986 after his mother was diagnosed with MS. Since her passing in 2014, Todd and his sister Fallon have carried on the organization's efforts in her honor.

Todd Wynne's achievements and values align with Rogers-O'Brien's commitment to innovation and social responsibility. His recognition as a BD+C 40 Under 40 Award recipient is a testament to his exceptional dedication, leadership, and contributions to the construction industry and the broader community.
