HCR Looks for Culture Growth with New HR VP

LOS ANGELES -- As it expands its network of regional roofing businesses across the Western U.S., the HCR Group has appointed Marlo Wilkey Vice President of Human Resources.

In this role, Wilkey will lead the development of HCR’s people and culture strategy, supporting leadership teams across its regional companies, while helping build the infrastructure needed to attract, develop, and retain top talent.

The Wilkey hire reflects a continued focus on investing in people, strengthening culture, and developing leaders to support long-term growth.

“We are building more than a collection of companies. We are building a platform designed to scale,” said Mike Erekson, CEO of The HCR Group. “That requires intentional investment in our people, our leaders, and the culture that connects them. Marlo brings the experience and leadership to help us do that the right way.”

Building the Culture and Leadership Foundation for Growth
Wilkey brings more than 15 years of experience leading HR strategy, talent development, and organizational effectiveness, with a strong background in private equity-backed and high-growth environments.

Most recently, he served in senior HR leadership roles at Vantor, where he partnered with executive teams to align talent strategy with business objectives, strengthen leadership capability, and support enterprise growth through scalable people systems.

“Marlo understands how to connect people, culture, and performance,” said Erekson. “He has a track record of building strong leadership teams and creating systems that allow organizations to grow while staying aligned and accountable.”

The appointment comes as The HCR Group continues to scale both organically and through acquisition.

“Growth at this level requires more than operational excellence; it requires leadership, alignment, and a culture that supports performance,” said Erekson. “Marlo will play a key role in helping us continue building a company where people can grow and perform at a high level.”

Backed by Oridian Capital Partners (formerly HCI Equity Partners), based in Washington, DC, The HCR Group partners with established roofing businesses while preserving local leadership, culture, and customer relationships. The platform provides shared resources across safety, operations, finance, and best-practice collaboration, enabling teams to deliver consistent, high-quality work at scale.
