Marovi Assists Congruex with CFO Search
June 26, 2026 – Working in partnership with Atlanta-GA-based Marovi, Congruex, a provider of digital infrastructure engineering and construction services, appointed Jim Stanley as CFO. He reports to Congruex’s co-founder, president, and CEO, Kevin O’Hara. The appointment comes amid strong and sustained growth at Congruex as it plans to continue to capitalize on macro tailwinds, including AI and data center expansion, continued fiber to the home deployments, and civil solutions for mission critical infrastructure delivery.
“Congruex is operating at the core of the digital infrastructure revolution in the United States,” said Mr. O’Hara. “We are executing on the tremendous demand in front of us, with a $1.4 billion backlog of work and a $3.9 billion sales pipeline of future opportunities, underscoring a strong end to 2025 and even stronger start to 2026. Jim is an ideal partner to lead our finance organization and drive continued success, with a commitment to disciplined execution and a track record of achieving growth that will help shape our next phase of value creation for all stakeholders.”
“Jim Stanley is an excellent addition to Congruex’s deep leadership team,” said Dan Kilpatrick, partner at Crestview Partners. “Congruex is experiencing strong demand for its solutions, having established a scaled, national business providing end-to-end engineering and construction services for digital infrastructure.”
Marovi partnered with Congruex to bring structure, speed, and proof to a high-stakes finance leadership hire. Marovi applied its software-plus-expert model to define the specific leadership outcomes Congruex needed in a CFO – aligned to rapid growth, capital-intensive scaling, and execution against a multibillion-dollar pipeline. Using Marovi’s platform, Congruex was able to map the relevant finance executive talent landscape, assess candidates against evidence-based leadership signals.
Mr. Stanley is a seasoned executive with extensive experience leading finance and operations at growth-oriented companies, including most recently at major telecom provider Frontier Communications. Throughout his 35-year career, he has developed significant financial and cross-functional expertise, overseeing strategic and transformational initiatives and achieving successful enterprise outcomes.
Prior to Congruex, Mr. Stanley was senior vice president at Frontier, overseeing treasury, financial planning, and other finance functions. He played a key role in transformational actions including a public listing, significant enterprise growth and cost savings, numerous transactions and financings, and the company’s acquisition by Verizon at a $20 billion valuation. Among other executive positions, he spent 12 years driving growth as CFO and subsequently chief operating officer at the Center for Diagnostic Imaging, as well as more than a decade in finance leadership at a premier airline.
“Congruex has singular capabilities and attributes to win in the marketplace, and we are ideally positioned to continue doing so,” Mr. Stanley said. “I look forward to partnering with the talented team to help Congruex accelerate its growth trajectory.”
