Another First For
An Award-Winning Area Homebuilder
Army
and government veteran tapped as COO of boutique homebuilder, OPaL.
Cabin John, MD, September
2019—Sean Ruppert, Principal and Owner of regional boutique developer, OPaL, announces
the appointment of the company’s first Chief Operating Officer, Jason Woodward.
Together, Ruppert and Woodward will drive the future of this award-winning
organization.
Woodward brings military
pride and precision to the many processes that go into the building or historic
renovation of OPaL homes. Most recently, he served as the Assistant Inspector
General in the Office of Management and Administration for the Department of
Veteran’s Affairs. In addition to supervising 150 people, he was responsible
for operational planning, internal oversight, budgetary matters, space planning
and facilities management, human resources management and the operations of the
Office of the Inspector General’s national hotline.
“Jason’s professional
background translates perfectly to managing the many details that go into
ensuring OPaL’s urban developments, custom homes, and historic renovations are
delivered on-time, on-budget and within parameters,” says Ruppert. “His skills
are invaluable to the continued success of our organization. ”
A native of Kansas,
Jason is also a military veteran, having served eight years in the US Army in
various logistical and operations positions. He holds a trio of master’s
degrees—in Business Administration, Public Health, and Nutrition—as well as a
master’s certificate in Key Leadership.
“Working as COO at OPaL
requires a lot attention to detail, scheduling, coordinating with suppliers,
and most importantly, financial oversight. These are the same skills I’ve honed
over the years in my public sector jobs. Because OPaL only builds and renovates
a small number of homes each year, I will have the chance to invest more of
myself into each project and see the results on the faces of the families who
live there. I look forward to the gratification that will bring,” says
Woodward.
