Electrical contracting firm Rosendin, among the nation’s very largest employee-owned electrical contracting companies, is celebrating its vice president and chief accounting officer Matthew Hisaka for being named an honoree in the Silicon Valley Business Journal’s 2022 '40 Under 40' award program.
Hisaka was selected among hundreds of applications from rising leaders shaping the Bay Area for his commitment to being a positive force of change and champion of volunteerism in the construction industry and his community.
Hisaka joined Rosendin in 2011 as a financial reporting manager and was selected for Rosendin’s Leadership Academy, a two-year training program aimed at teaching vital business skills, along with confidence, and leadership training.
Hisaka has played an important role in launching the Rosendin Foundation, where he organizes fundraisers and volunteering events for local nonprofits. In 2022, he was named the company's vice president and chief accounting officer.
“Matt genuinely cares for each one of his team members and knows how to put them in positions to succeed,” said Daren Mays, vice president of finance at Rosendin. “His strong work ethic and eye for detail have made Rosendin a more efficient company, and I have no doubt Matt will someday leave his mark on the next generation of industry leaders.”
Hisaka is also heavily involved in organizing company-wide service days to support the Boys and Girls Club of Silicon Valley, the Second Harvest Food Bank in San Jose, HomeFirst Services of Santa Clara County, and other charitable organizations.
“I am humbled to be named a 40 Under 40 recipient by the Silicon Valley Business Journal among a talented class of the Bay Area’s entrepreneurs, innovators and executives,” said Hisaka. “I am inspired everyday by my family to give back and would like to thank all my mentors at Rosendin for helping me get to where I am today.”
The Silicon Valley Business Journal honored its 2022 40 Under 40 class at an in-person event at the Unzipped Pavilion in San Jose on August 18. Young professionals from every sector were selected and represented selected based on their contributions to their companies, their role in their industry and the likelihood of them becoming a key leader in their field and their community.
At this year's NECA - BICSI 2022 summit, Rosendin Electric's Ron Clarkson hosted a talk entitled, Evolving Opportunities in the Electrical Industry: How to Start Doing Integrations.
Clarkson is responsible for Rosendin’s success in a wide range of design-build projects all over the US, within commercial, transit, hospital, airports, educational, and homeland security venues. These projects involve bridges, tunnels, ports, aviation, smart highways, structured cabling, air blown fiber both micro and conventional, PON, smart buildings, and installation and integration of many systems. He supports his teams from conception to implementation and post-installation.
The gist of Clarkson's talk was stated thusly:
Stepping in to a new market can come with many questions. While the supply of the low voltage technology systems market is expected to double in 2022 in the building market alone, there is always uncertainty. This session will discuss the steps an electrical contractor should take to get in to the integration business.
