Meet the CEO builders: Here are the CEOs participating in the 2023 Habitat for Humanity Pinellas and West Pasco CEO Build (PHOTOS)

Community leaders, from organizations in the Tampa Bay area, are working together to build a home for a local family, in the Lealman community, in St. Petersburg.

Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties launched its second annual CEO Build, led by honorary Chairs Bill Brand, chief executive officer of Rue21 and Habitat for Humanity International Board Member Mindy Grossman, former president and CEO of WW (formerly Weight Watchers) and Ryan Ross, president of Neiman Marcus.

In 2022, Habitat introduced the inaugural CEO Build, where 55 CEOs raised more than $140,000 to sponsor the Middlebrooks Family home, in Pinellas Park.

This year, the group of leaders are building a home for Alex Diaz, Christina Gonzales and their three children, Olivia, Jackson and Vivian, according to a statement.

Three build days were scheduled for the CEOs to volunteer on the Diaz-Gonzales home, at 2773 Grove Park Ave. N., St. Petersburg.
