Disciplined financial leadership for a company at the center of the digital infrastructure buildout
Working in partnership with Marovi, Congruex, a leading provider of digital infrastructure engineering and construction services, appointed Jim Stanley as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Stanley reports to Congruex’s Co-Founder, President, and CEO, Kevin O’Hara.
Stanley is a seasoned executive with 35 years of experience leading finance and operations at growth-oriented companies, most recently as Senior Vice President at Frontier Communications, where he oversaw treasury, financial planning, and other finance functions. He played a key role in transformational actions at Frontier including a public listing, significant enterprise growth and cost savings, numerous transactions and financings, and the company’s acquisition by Verizon at a $20 billion valuation.
Prior to Frontier, Stanley spent 12 years driving growth as CFO and subsequently COO at the Center for Diagnostic Imaging, along with more than a decade in finance leadership at a premier airline. He holds a B.S. in Finance from Lehigh University and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
The appointment comes amid strong and sustained growth at Congruex as it capitalizes on macro tailwinds including AI and data center expansion, continued fiber to the home deployments, and civil solutions for mission-critical infrastructure delivery.
“Congruex is operating at the core of the digital infrastructure revolution in the United States. We are executing on the tremendous demand in front of us, with a $1.4 billion backlog of work and a $3.9 billion sales pipeline of future opportunities, underscoring a strong end to 2025 and even stronger start to 2026,” said O’Hara. “Jim is an ideal partner to lead our finance organization and drive continued success, with a commitment to disciplined execution and a track record of achieving growth that will help shape our next phase of value creation for all stakeholders.”
“Congruex has singular capabilities and attributes to win in the marketplace, and we are ideally positioned to continue doing so,” Stanley said. “I look forward to partnering with the talented team to help Congruex accelerate its growth trajectory.”
“Jim Stanley is an excellent addition to Congruex’s deep leadership team,” said Dan Kilpatrick, Partner at Crestview Partners. “Congruex is experiencing strong demand for its solutions, having established a scaled, national business providing end-to-end engineering and construction services for digital infrastructure.”

Maroviโs Role Executive Leadership Evaluation
Marovi partnered with Congruex to bring structure, speed, and proof to a high-stakes finance leadership hire. Rather than relying on networks or surface-level credentials, Marovi applied its software-plus-expert model to define the specific leadership outcomes Congruex needed in a CFO – aligned to rapid growth, capital-intensive scaling, and execution against a multibillion-dollar pipeline.
Using Marovi’s platform, Congruex was able to map the relevant finance executive talent landscape, assess candidates against evidence-based leadership signals, and clearly see why a leader fits the requirements and criteria. Every recommendation was backed by transparent logic – combining decades of executive search expertise with intelligent alignment and validation.
The result is a more disciplined, qualified approach to executive hiring evaluation – ensuring leadership decisions are as rigorous as the growth strategy they’re meant to support.
