Huseman Group, the Walnut Hills parent company behind HGC Construction and several specialty subsidiaries, is shaking up its leadership chart, formalizing a corporate C-suite and elevating Adam Kuehne to chief operating officer. It is the first time in the company’s roughly 95-year history that it has created executive roles above its operating units, a change arriving as the firm reported about $230 million in revenue in 2025, a scale that underscores the move.
New C-Suite Roles
As reported by the Cincinnati Business Courier, Huseman Group has named Ali Hubbard chief growth officer, Adam Kuehne chief operating officer and Bill Steimer chief financial officer as part of a newly formalized leadership roster. The Courier notes the parent company oversees HGC Construction, Structural Systems Repair Group (SSRG) and three other operating subsidiaries. The appointments shift the organization from a traditional family-managed structure toward a centralized executive team meant to coordinate strategy across the companies.
Who Is Adam Kuehne
HGC Construction notes that Kuehne joined the firm in 2005 and was named president of HGC in 2020 after roughly 15 years with the company. The HGC page also lists Jake Suer as the company's 2026 president, a change that opens the president role at HGC as Kuehne moves to a group-level job. Kuehne's new title positions him to oversee operations across the Huseman Group's construction and specialty businesses.
Scale And Strategy
Local 12, which republished the Business Courier report, said Huseman Group recorded roughly $230 million in revenue during 2025. Huseman Group lays out the cluster of operating companies it coordinates — HGC, SSRG, Trade31, Stanton Millworks and Stewart Iron Works — and suggests shared services and specialty trades are central to its growth model. Centralizing leadership at the group level could make it easier to pursue larger regional bids and align back-office functions across the businesses.
What This Means For Cincinnati
Industry observers say converting a family operation into a formal executive structure is a common step for mid-sized firms preparing to scale or address succession. Coverage in the Cincinnati Business Courier framed the move as part of the company's modernization as it seeks to expand its footprint beyond the region. For clients and subcontractors in Cincinnati, the change could mean clearer leadership lines and larger, more integrated project teams.
Company pages and local reporting have moved quickly to reflect the changes, and Local 12's round-up has been the most readily available local summary so far. We will update this post if Huseman Group issues a formal press release or provides additional comment about the new executive structure. For now, the shuffle appears aimed at giving the group's subsidiaries a single executive framework to coordinate growth across the Midwest.
