Favorite thing about Delaware? “I am not a native Delawarean, but I appreciate how this great state welcomes anyone into the community and supports them in accomplishing their goals and dreams. The size of our state afforded me many opportunities to get involved in businesses, communities.”
After a career at Exelon and custom home-building, Greg Sawka came to Wilmington-based Bancroft Construction almost by chance after answering an ad. Starting as an assistant project manager and rising through the ranks of the firm to oversee operations and preconstruction, Sawka was named president and CEO in 2010. Since then, he’s helped the construction firm parlay successful expansion projects at the University of Delaware and Longwood Gardens into fruitful long-term relationships with both, including as part of a bid group on UD’s STAR Campus. Sawka also opened offices in Princeton, N.J., and Salisbury, Md., to expand Bancroft’s geographic reach.
