The driving force behind RO’s innovation in construction marketing, Emma Parker Kelder strategically leads the promotion of the RO brand through its people, projects and company culture. After cheering on the Tigers for four years, she received a B.A. in Mass Communication and a minor in Visual Communication from Louisiana State University. She states her favorite part of working for RO is the people, and her favorite part of her job is continually changing the perception of marketing in the construction industry, through proving its value to both RO employees and its valued clients.
