The HCR Group strengthens its leadership platform with addition of Marlo Wilkey as VP of HR to advance culture, talent, and scalable growth.

LOS ANGELES, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The HCR Group continues to build the leadership foundation supporting its growing commercial roofing platform with the appointment of Marlo Wilkey as Vice President of Human Resources.

As the company expands its network of regional roofing businesses across the Western United States, the addition of Wilkey reflects a continued focus on investing in people, strengthening culture, and developing leaders to support long-term growth.

"We are building more than a collection of companies. We are building a platform designed to scale," said Mike Erekson, Chief Executive Officer of The HCR Group. "That requires intentional investment in our people, our leaders, and the culture that connects them. Marlo brings the experience and leadership to help us do that the right way."

Building the Culture and Leadership Foundation for Growth

Wilkey brings more than 15 years of experience leading HR strategy, talent development, and organizational effectiveness, with a strong background in private equity-backed and high-growth environments.

Most recently, he served in senior HR leadership roles at Vantor, where he partnered with executive teams to align talent strategy with business objectives, strengthen leadership capability, and support enterprise growth through scalable people systems. His experience spans organizational design, performance management, leadership development, and cultural integration across multi-location businesses.

In his role as Vice President of Human Resources, Wilkey will lead the development of The HCR Group's people and culture strategy, supporting leadership teams across its regional companies while helping build the infrastructure needed to attract, develop, and retain top talent.

"Marlo understands how to connect people, culture, and performance," said Erekson. "He has a track record of building strong leadership teams and creating systems that allow organizations to grow while staying aligned and accountable."

Supporting the Next Phase of Platform Growth

The appointment comes as The HCR Group continues to scale both organically and through acquisition. While the company remains committed to preserving the local leadership, relationships, and reputation of its regional brands, it is equally focused on building the shared capabilities that strengthen the organization as a whole.

"Growth at this level requires more than operational excellence; it requires leadership, alignment, and a culture that supports performance," said Erekson. "Marlo will play a key role in helping us continue building a company where people can grow and perform at a high level."
