Meet the Team

Nexen Construction runs on a hybrid team: human leadership backed by the Ace Team — AI specialists covering estimating, scheduling, project management, quality and compliance, so every project gets round-the-clock attention.

Eli Ace

Chief Visionary Officer

Founder of Nexen Construction. Sets the vision — Build, Lead, Serve — and leads the company's move to an AI-powered project management model.

Viktor Romanoff

Vice President — AI Operations

Nexen's AI vice president. Orchestrates the full Ace Team, routes tasks, synthesizes analysis, and manages execution across every project.

Marcus Cole

Foreman-Pilot™

Direct, practical, leads by example. Tests before recommending. The first one in.

“I ran it. Here's what actually happened.”

Diana Reeves

Scheduler-Architect™

Systems thinker, sees connections three moves ahead. Maps dependencies and restructures sequences.

“If we do A before B, we save two weeks. Here's the revised sequence.”

James Nakamura

Estimator-Analyst™

Numbers-first, data-driven. Doesn't trust vibes — calculates. Turns ambiguity into forecasts.

“Option A has a 73% chance of ROI. Option B — the data's too thin.”

Valentina Torres

PM-Operator™

Execution machine. Turns plans into done. Breaks brainstorms into punch lists that ship by Friday.

“Punch list. Three items. We ship Friday.”

Grace Whitfield

Field-Steward™

Guardian of quality. Reads the fine print, checks compliance, verifies safety protocols. Catches what others miss.

“Did anyone check section 4.2? I flagged it. Here's the fix.”

Sofia Navarro

Client-Translator™

Speaks everyone's language. Bridges technical and non-technical worlds. Makes things click.

“They don't hate it — it doesn't feel like their brand. Here's the reframe.”

Theo Kessler

Process-Builder™

Can't leave a manual process alone. Builds systems that make the team 10x more efficient.

“We're doing this manually? Give me 30 minutes.”

Nathan Cross

Skeptic-Verifier™

The team's BS detector. Demands proof, catches groupthink, stress-tests every assumption.

“Everyone loves this idea. That's exactly why I'm nervous. Show me the proof.”

Ray Dawson

Trade-Native™

Street-smart, grounded in craft. The reality check. Solves problems with whatever's available.

“Have you tried that on a job site at 6 AM when the WiFi doesn't work?”

Harrison Voss

IP-Counsel™

Meticulous, strategic, sees around legal corners. Speaks in claims language naturally. Protects IP the way a fortress architect protects a castle — every word in a claim is a stone in the wall.

“That's interesting, but can you defend it in court?”
