Cummings promotes Crowley, Linscott, Lyons, and Padilla

Woburn, MA Cummings Properties has completed the promotions of four seasoned colleagues in its construction division. Scott Crowley, Dan Linscott, Alian Lyons, and Luis Padilla recently advanced their positions at the commercial real estate firm.  

Former Woburn grounds team leader Crowley has advanced to associate manager of the firm’s 2.3 million s/f portfolio in Beverly. Crowley, a Chelmsford resident, has worked at Cummings for eight years.

Assuming the team leader position previously occupied by Crowley is Luis Padilla of Revere. During his 15-year tenure with the company, Padilla has continually broadened his trade-related skills and progressed through multiple internal job classifications.

 In the wake of a recent retirement at Cummings, Dan Linscott of Littleton has become one of two construction division managers at the company’s headquarters. Linscott came to the company with more than 30 years of experience, mostly recently including 10 years as senior director of construction with SIMON Property Group. He will now oversee all construction and maintenance activity for nearly 3 million s/f of commercial space.

Providence, R.I. resident Alian Lyons has been promoted to carpentry team leader. A former scuba instructor in his home country of Jamaica, Lyons joined Cummings Properties six years ago as a general worker and has since become a skilled carpenter.

“Given the talent and dedication among the Cummings team, we place a strong emphasis on promoting from within,” said Cummings Properties chairman and CEO Dennis Clarke. “Often, when a leadership role opens up, it not only offers an opportunity for one colleague to grow professionally but also causes a chain reaction when that individual’s role must then be filled.”
