Evelyn DeMartino, President
Evelyn began her career in marketing and advertising, initially working on the ‘client side’ for a Boston-based retail company. She moved to Manhattan in 1994 where she worked for global advertising agencies such as J. Walter Thompson, Draft Worldwide and Young & Rubicam. Evelyn was responsible for developing marketing and sales plans for Fortune 500 companies such as Kraft, Xerox, IBM, AT&T, HBO, Advil, Clairol and Hills Pet Nutrition. In 2002 Evelyn left her successful career to work with her husband, Michael, and launch DeMartino Construction Company. Her years of experience in operations, business development, sales and marketing inform all of her decisions and have helped build DeMartino Construction’s success.
