VG CEO Drew Shula Honored with Building Design + Construction Magazine’s 40 Under 40 Award
Verdical Group’s Founder & CEO Drew Shula was recently honored with a 40 Under 40 Award, presented by Building Design + Construction (BD+C) Magazine.
The award, which is presented annually to 40 leaders in the AEC industry, recognizes stars who are making their mark in business, philanthropy, and their communities. Shula, nicknamed the “Green Giant” by BD+C, was selected as a result of his accomplishments — from founding Verdical Group in his garage in 2012 to becoming one of just a handful of LEED Fellow and Living Future Heroes in 2020. He was also lauded for founding the annual Net Zero Conference; for his mentorship and promotion of continuing education; and for his extracurricular involvement with USGBC-LA’s Board and the Greenbuild Conference & Expo.
As is mentioned in the article, Drew is driven to “stay hungry, stay foolish” (as Steve Jobs once said), experimenting with new ideas that can make a positive change every day.
