Allison’s path to the top is a quintessential construction story – one built on deep knowledge, versatility, and getting her hands dirty. She started at Webcor 22 years ago, as an intern from the Construction Engineering program at Purdue (BSCNE 2006).
Right after graduating, she put herself in the thick of it, working in Los Angeles for Webcor Concrete. Allison gained crucial “bags-on” experience, building formwork, pouring concrete, and even chipping out mistakes under the watchful eye of veteran carpenters and laborers. That foundational, on-site knowledge proved invaluable.
Over the next few years, her focus was simple: learning everything about building. She transitioned from designing student housing to stadiums, high-rise residential buildings, and complex campus projects for major tech companies in Silicon Valley, with experience also working in Honolulu and San Diego. By 2018, she had become a leader at Webcor Drywall, where she helped grow both the team and its revenue over a three-and-a-half-year period.
In 2016, she and three other women leaders began focusing on internal mentorship and growth for women in the industry. As a result, in 2018, they co-founded Women of Webcor, the company’s first Employee Resource Group (ERG).
She has held the Chair position from 2018 to 2025, actively working to support those new to the industry, women in leadership, and working mothers.
Allison’s proactive, ground-up leadership demonstrates a deep commitment to our people and culture, showing how a thriving culture is built through intentional strategies and policies.
The Purdue award recognizes alumni who have attained considerable success and given back to society, making a profound impact on the Construction Engineering program. Allison embodies this completely.
For 19 years, she has been a force in recruiting for Purdue and continues to serve on the Purdue Polytechnic Institute’s School of Construction Management Technology Executive Construction Advisory Council. She has also earned outside recognition, including being named to the SF Business Times Top 20 under 40 in 2022, and ENR’s California and National Top 20 Under 40 in 2023.
Today, as senior vice president for Project Planning, Allison’s passion and expertise in building are focused on setting up all of Webcor’s projects for success.
