Lorraine Reidy is a trailblazing entrepreneur who emigrated from Ireland almost 30 years ago. Drawn to New York City’s vibrant energy and iconic architecture, she quickly fell in love with the city, particularly Grand Central Terminal.

Lorraine’s career began in finance, where she spent nearly 15 years navigating a male-dominated industry as one of the few professional women. Determined to effect change, she and her husband Pat founded RCG. From the outset, Lorraine focused RCG’s efforts on empowering minorities and women. She led by example, teaching subcontractors the importance of diversity and inclusion, promoting from within, and fostering strong, lasting relationships. 

Lorraine’s commitment to empowering others extends beyond RCG. She strives to inspire her own children and young women both within the company and throughout the construction industry. Her dedication to changing perceptions and creating opportunities for women has left a lasting impact on RCG and the industry at large.
