Thomas N. Iovino
Iovino built one of the nation’s largest transportation contracting businesses and served as a distinguished national and local construction volunteer leader.
In 1981, he founded Judlau Contracting in Long Island, New York, with small sewer and water main contracts. Within 15 years, revenues reached $50 million. It continued to grow into one of the nation’s leading civil construction companies. Judlau, in which OHL Group acquired a controlling interest in 2010, completed more than $3.5 billion in projects for New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority, including the transformative Second Avenue Subway Line and several post-Hurricane Sandy rehabilitation projects. Iovino retired in 2017 as CEO of OHL North America.
In 2002, Iovino founded the Iovino Family Foundation with a commitment of “empowering families in rural Haiti to create their own pathway out of poverty.” The Foundation works to improve and enable the health and well-being of families through the development and support of sustainable solutions aimed at poverty alleviation, education and economic development. The Haitian Pride Breakfast Program serves more than 2,800 children at 15 schools on weekdays during the school year.
