Lauren Gibbs
CEO


[email protected]

Lauren Gibbs is the second-generation owner and CEO of Gibbs

Construction. A daughter of company founder Lawrence C. Gibbs, she

took the helm in July 2019.


Lauren came to Gibbs in 2011 after starting her career in Nashville,

where she earned both a bachelor’s in civil engineering and a master’s

of engineering/construction management from Vanderbilt University, and

worked in project management for American Constructors. She also has

an MBA from the University of New Orleans.


At Gibbs, Lauren has served as an estimator, project coordinator, project

engineer, project manager, and executive in charge, and was named a vice

president in October 2017.  

Lauren is gifted with innate organizational skills which are complimented

by her ability to quickly and clearly perceive the basic components of

complex topics. She is a leader and collaborator with the insight and

experience to elevate the team. Energetic, enthusiastic, bold and

aggressive, Lauren has the ability to see the big picture while also handling

minute details very well. She is tenacious, digging into details, and diving

deeper than most. She goes above and beyond the call of duty, both from

the technical aspect and the task completion aspect, driving toward the

resolution of issues and problems and pushing for completion.


Her very affable style of authentic, genuine communication is a boon

to Gibbs Construction, its projects and its people, adding to the teambuilding necessary among the players.
