Tony Manuelli

He serves as a trusted partner and advisor to CEO and Chairman Stephen DeSimone and the Principal Team, providing financial, operational and organizational points of view for identifying and implementing growth opportunities, as well as project and practice diversification, for DeSimone’s fast-paced growth objectives.   

In his capacity as CFO, Tony drives the firm’s overall operational efficiency and financial wellness, leveraging careful planning and implementation of critical processes and policies informed by the strategic setting and close monitoring of KPIs and operational and financial metrics.

Over the course of his tenure at DeSimone, Tony has guided us through strategic acquisitions and the joining of companies to DeSimone to adopt a win-win offering of added new services to our core structural engineering and façade and building envelope services—including detailing, steel procurement, vertical transportation, legal advisory, wind and vibration analysis, and tilt-up engineering. Tony's efforts, in turn, have resulted in DeSimone’s geographic expansion to Houston, Dallas, Vancouver, and Dayton in the US, and London and Manchester in the UK. His extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, deal pricing, banking and financial sourcing, risk management, and professional liability remain invaluable as we continue to strategically expand.

Prior to assuming his leadership role at DeSimone, Tony held senior executive positions at several large-scale organizations in the professional services, advertising, and media and communication spaces.
