Zack Kass has joined Clayco’s Board of Advisors as the company continues expanding its focus on innovation and digital transformation across the built environment.
Clayco announced the appointment as part of its broader effort to strengthen technology adoption and data-driven decision-making.
Kass is a recognized artificial intelligence strategist and former Head of Go-to-Market at OpenAI. During his tenure, he helped scale the company’s sales, partnerships, and customer success operations amid rapid generative AI growth. Today, he advises Fortune 1000 companies, governments, and institutions on AI adoption and business transformation.
In addition, Zack Kass serves as an Executive Advisor on artificial intelligence and business strategy at the University of Virginia’s McIntire School of Commerce. He also collaborates with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and serves as the AI Conservation Fellow at Conservation International.
“Artificial intelligence will fundamentally reshape how businesses operate, how projects are delivered and how value is created across industries,” said Bob Clark, Founder and Executive Chairman of Clayco. “Zack has been at the center of one of the most transformative technology movements in modern history. His unique perspective on AI adoption, business transformation and human potential will help Clayco continue to lead the construction industry into the future.”
Supporting Enterprise AI Growth
Before joining OpenAI, Kass spent more than a decade working in artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. Furthermore, he helped organizations convert advanced AI research into practical business solutions. Since leaving OpenAI, he has advised leaders on responsible AI implementation and long-term competitiveness.
“I’m honored to join Clayco’s Board of Advisors and to work alongside a rare leader who has built at extraordinary scale without losing sight of the values that matter,” said Kass. “Bob has already taught me a great deal about legacy, philanthropy, and the responsibility that comes with success. I’ve spent much of my career focused on the digital world and the future of intelligence, but I’ve always been fascinated by the people who shape the physical world around us. Clayco has helped create some of the most remarkable structures in the country, and there is still so much left to build. I’m excited to work with the leadership team as they explore new ways to create value for clients, partners, and employees through emerging technologies.”
Moreover, Kass joins a respected Board of Advisors that supports Clayco’s executive leadership team. The company continues expanding across advanced technology, industrial, mission-critical, residential, commercial, and institutional markets.
“Clayco has built a reputation for anticipating where industries are headed and positioning itself ahead of the curve,” Clark added. “As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, Zack’s expertise will help ensure we remain at the forefront of innovation in order to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients.”
