“This is a meaningful award to me as Viking has always had women in leadership and management roles,” Gaglio said. “I will say in truth this is not because we set out to hire women. It is because we set out to hire the best people for the job. We appreciate the talent, dedication and hard work of every woman on our team and know we have enjoyed so much success because of all they bring to their job every day.”
The Construction Institute is a non-profit, non-partisan association of diverse professionals working to improve the industry by sharing experiences and knowledge, advancing relationships, and developing business leaders. Its Champions of Change award is part of the “Women Who Build” program open to its membership.
