Charlotte’s construction scene is getting a major shakeup thanks to Crete United and its CEO, Mike Cox—a former Navy underwater construction diver. Under Cox’s leadership, Crete United has grown into a $1 billion powerhouse, uniting over 40 HVAC, electrical, and plumbing companies, including four in North Carolina. What’s unique? Cox’s military background brings a no-nonsense, team-first approach, focusing on healthier, more energy-efficient buildings. Owners stay involved, and local jobs are thriving. It’s a fresh take on what it means to build—and run—a business in Charlotte. How do you think military experience shapes leadership in business? #Business #Industry #Charlotte
