Based in New York City, Craig also adds to BGL’s expanding presence on the East Coast.

“On the heels of Eliott Musick joining our Services vertical to lead our Facility & Field Services business, Craig expands our ongoing efforts within infrastructure services through his impressive career in transportation, logistics, and supply chain,” said Effram Kaplan, Head of BGL’s Services vertical and lead within its Environmental & Industrial Services business. “Craig enables us to scale our knowledge and skills across our client base and bring additional ideas and opportunities to the market. We are very pleased to welcome him to BGL and excited about the additional resources we can offer our clients.”

“BGL has demonstrated impressive growth over the past several years,” said Decker. “I’m thrilled to be joining a team of this caliber and look forward to adding to the momentum of the firm’s expansion in NYC and beyond.”

Craig holds an MBA from New York University’s Leonard N. Stern School of Business and earned his B.A. from Villanova University.
