This week, McKee Homes, a leading homebuilder in North Carolina, unveiled a significant, positive operational change aimed at enhancing efficiency and regional focus. As part of this initiative, McKee Homes has appointed three Region Presidents to oversee key areas of operations, ensuring a more localized
approach to customer needs and market dynamics.
Under the new structure, McKee Homes will continue to build in three distinct regions, each now equipped with a dedicated Region President empowered to lead their respective teams, tailor strategies to local market demands, and ensure unparalleled customer satisfaction:
1. Raleigh-Durham Triangle: Region President – Patty Sloan
2. Wilmington/Jacksonville: Region President – Bert Radford
3. Fayetteville/Moore County: Region President – Ed Rain
At the helm of this transformation is McKee’s Visionary/Integrator, Patricia Hanchette. With over 30 years of experience in operational excellence and strategic leadership, Hanchette is poised to lead McKee Homes to greater success. Her visionary approach to homebuilding and commitment to fostering a culture of innovation will be instrumental in aligning the company's regions with its long-term objectives.
"We are thrilled to announce the promotions of three tenured and talented McKee associates to Region President roles," said Hanchette in a press release. "This restructure gives them an opportunity to continue learning and further their career goals all while delivering exceptional support to our associates, customers, and communities."
