Steve-hope-moss

Steve Hope was appointed chief financial officer of Moss, a national construction firm, with a presence in the Tampa Bay market. Hope succeeds Dan Wobby, who has served as CFO since 2021 and will transition to the role of strategic business advisor until his planned retirement in 2026.

Hope joined Moss in August 2024 as executive vice president of finance, bringing over 20 years of financial leadership experience with companies such as Keller Group and Nissan. Since joining the company, he has worked to modernize financial systems, enhance operational efficiency and drive profitability.

The leadership transition comes as Moss strengthens its presence in key markets, including Tampa Bay and Sarasota. Projects delivered by the company’s Mid-Florida office include Cora in the Water Street district, the Ritz-Carlton Residences Sarasota and the JW Marriott Clearwater Beach.
