Mike Hoover
CEO & Chairman of the Board
Since becoming Sundt’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of its Board of Directors, Mike Hoover has led the company’s transformation into one of the country’s largest and most skilled general contractors.
Under Mike’s leadership, the company’s annual revenue has quadrupled since 2015 and its geographic reach has expanded from just four states to nearly two dozen. In 2020, Mike led Sundt’s expansion into renewable energy construction by acquiring a leader in the renewable power market and forming Sundt Renewables, LLC.
Before moving into his leadership role in October 2016, Mike served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer managing the company’s transportation, mining and industrial, concrete, building, safety and quality control groups. Under his leadership, the company expanded into new markets, including Irvine, Calif.; Salt Lake City, Utah; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas and Charlotte, N.C.
Mike has continued Sundt’s tradition of generosity, leading the company’s nonprofit arm, the Sundt Foundation, to cross the $17 million mark in donations made to hundreds of nonprofit organizations across the country.
Mike earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Arizona in Tucson, Ariz., and joined Sundt full-time shortly thereafter. During college he spent his summers working on various Sundt jobsites, making him one of the few construction industry leaders to work their way up from laborer to executive.
In 2018 he served as President of The Beavers, a national heavy civil organization, and in 2024 was recognized with the Beavers’ Leadership Award. He serves as Chairman for the Construction Industry Safety Initiative (CISI) and is a member of the Construction Industry Round Table. He is also a board member of Greater Phoenix Leadership, an organization of leading CEOs.
