Adams’ vision for Revere to accelerate a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable world has created working relationships with thousands of private and public customers across the water, energy, and manufacturing sectors. In his new role, Bob will focus on strategic initiatives that position Revere to continue to excel into the future. These will include building key partnerships, guiding Revere’s long-term strategy, and leading special initiatives that advance Revere’s vision.

“I am thrilled to announce Andy as Revere’s new President,” said Adams. “Serving those around us by providing world-class automation for the digital world has always been my passion, and I’m excited to support Andy as he helps Revere make an even larger impact.”

Andy Wilson has held several senior leadership titles since joining Revere, beginning his tenure with the company in 2019 as the Director of Construction. He was promoted to VP of Construction in 2020, and subsequently moved into the VP of Industrial role. Along with divisional growth, Andy led Revere to establish a direct-hire construction group, enhancing Revere’s established design-build services and creating a vertically integrated automation solution unmatched in the marketplace.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to lead Revere as its President,” said Andy Wilson. “The professionalism and doing the right thing mindset at Revere is what drew me here, and I look forward to serving our team as we continue to serve the world around us. I am grateful to Bob for his guidance and mentorship over the years.”
