Biography

Accountable for every JS Global project, from pursuit to closeout.

Mike Geraghty leads construction at JS Global. He is responsible for the strategic growth and successful delivery of JS Global construction projects throughout the world.

Mike Geraghty joined JS Global in April 2024 and serves as Executive Vice President. His responsibilities include working with the team and clients to identify key projects to collaborate on early and ensure the right team is in place to execute them.

He is responsible for delivering projects safely, on time, and within budget. That includes the company's corporate safety and quality control program, the federal and private general contracting divisions, the self-performing carpentry and electrical divisions, and the international construction division.

The Construction Group carries more than 50 active projects. They include SCIF buildouts and renovations, forced-entry and ballistic-resistant (FE/BR) installations, secure infrastructure installation and retrofits, fire alarm and mass notification upgrades and replacements, switchgear installations, tenant fit-out renovations, and campus-wide security upgrades.

Before JS Global, Mr. Geraghty spent more than 15 years with Clark Construction Group, rising from field engineer to Project Executive, with a career concentrated in large, complex, secure federal construction. He also led Clark's recruiting at The Catholic University of America and taught financial fundamentals at Clark Corporate University.

Earlier project experience includes the $300 million 7272 Wisconsin Avenue mixed-use development in Bethesda, named ENR's Mid-Atlantic Project of the Year, the $250 million Savannah Convention Center, the $60 million National Law Enforcement Museum, the $125 million South Campus Utility Plant at Fort Meade, the $22 million Presidents Park IDIQ on secured sites in Washington, D.C. and Plains, Georgia, the $1.6 billion National Geospatial Intelligence Agency campus in Springfield, Virginia, and the Washington Nationals Baseball Stadium.

At JS Global he introduced the tracking, reporting, and job metrics a large builder uses to oversee many projects at once, so leading indicators surface early and resources move before a job slips. He also reorganized a relatively flat structure into teams of teams, which gives more people the chance to lead, including craft workers who have advanced from carpenter to foreman to superintendent.
