CSM Group Welcomes JB Seo as Senior Vice President of Business Development
2:08
CSM Group is proud to announce the addition of Jeongbok (JB) Seo as Senior Vice President of Business Development. JB officially joined the company on August 25 and will lead national growth efforts across high-tech, mission-critical sectors, including semiconductor manufacturing, electric vehicle battery production, data centers, and pharmaceutical facilities.
With more than two decades of experience in global construction and engineering markets, JB brings a deep understanding of the technical, cultural, and business dynamics that shape complex capital programs. He previously held senior roles at Bechtel and AECOM, where he spearheaded multimillion-dollar project pursuits and built long-standing partnerships with major tech, energy, and industrial clients.
> “JB’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for our organization,” said Stuart Mason, Chief Executive Officer of CSM Group. “As demand accelerates in the high-tech and advanced manufacturing sectors, his leadership will be critical in expanding our footprint, strengthening client relationships, and delivering the certainty our partners need in high-stakes environments.”
JB has worked extensively with Korean-owned firms expanding their U.S. operations and is known for his ability to bridge cultural expectations and construction delivery models. His addition strengthens CSM Group’s ability to serve global clients navigating the U.S. market.
> “I’m honored to join CSM Group and contribute to its bold vision for growth,” said JB Seo. “What attracted me most was the company’s purpose, *to create the standards that leave a legacy of doing what can’t be done.* That commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation is what today’s industries demand.”
In his new role, JB will lead strategic business development across the country, with a focus on emerging markets and technically complex facilities where precision, speed, and risk mitigation are essential. He will work closely with CSM Group’s executive team, operations leaders, and client partners to deliver value from concept through completion.
