Mary Rotelli

Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Teichert, Inc.

Mary Rotelli has been with Teichert for more than a decade, in the course of which she worked in the Aggregates, Readymix concrete, Construction, and Precast divisions giving her first-hand experience in mining and plant operations, sales, project management and estimating before assuming her current role of Chief Operating Officer in 2013. A construction and materials company founded by Mary’s great-great-grandfather Adolph Teichert in 1887, Teichert, Inc. has always had a strong commitment to serving the growth and health of the central California region and its residents. Teichert has built and supplied materials to hundreds of thousands of miles of California’s highways, bridges, dams, levees, and other essential infrastructure elements. Teichert has placed the highest value on safe production for generations, as the company’s official safety program was started in 1959 by Henry Teichert – long before the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was established in 1970.

Mary holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a Bachelor’s degree from Harvard College. Prior to Teichert, she was a consultant with Bain & Co and a director of product strategy at Apple. She is a Senior Fellow with the American Leadership Forum and a board member of United Contractors (UCON), The Beavers (a heavy engineering construction association), and the California Transportation Foundation (CTF) which supports the families of downed highway workers. Her community activities include the Program Committee of the Family Business Center and leadership of the Bear Den of Cub Scout Pack #335, Golden Empire Council.
