MIAMI, FL, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SGBX) (“Safe & Green Holdings” or the “Company”), a leading developer, designer, and fabricator of modular as well as container based structures, today announced the promotion of David Cross to Executive Vice President of SG Echo, LLC.

David Cross, a graduate of the Maine Maritime Academy, served as a Deck Officer, predominantly working with Maersk Line Limited. His career led him to managerial roles in intermodal/equipment container control, spanning the United States and China, with the Maersk and COSCO Lines. Among his accomplishments, Mr. Cross leveraged his industry expertise to utilize containers as not simply instruments of trade but rather as instruments of construction. This innovative approach with containers as building blocks for construction was notably featured on the Bob Vila Home Improvement Show and HVTV. Mr. Cross, with fellow founders of the Company, developed a unique design and fabrication methodology centered around transforming standard cargo shipping containers into code-compliant, engineered structures. This led to the first recognition of the use of recycled materials by the International Code Council, marking a significant advancement in the field of construction and engineering. Furthermore, Mr. Cross has testified before the U.S. Congress on containerized applications for use in emergency response initiatives at the request of FEMA.

Paul Galvin, Chairperson and CEO of Safe & Green Holdings stated, “We are thrilled to promote David Cross to the role of Executive Vice President. David’s dedication and innovative approach have been instrumental in driving our Company’s growth and success. His commitment to excellence and his visionary leadership have consistently inspired our team and set new standards in the industry. I have no doubt that David will continue to make significant contributions in his new role, and I look forward to witnessing the continued impact of his work on our Company’s future.”
