Taylorsville-based construction conglomerate Clyde Companies has appointed Ryan Dalling as the new president of its subsidiary Geneva Rock Products. He replaces Jay Ritchie, who is retiring.
“Ryan has an ideal combination of extensive business acumen and exceptional relationship skills. He’s the principled leader we need, and we anticipate a bright future for him at Geneva Rock,” said Jeremy Hafen, president and CEO of Clyde Companies. “I’m confident Ryan will build upon Jay’s success. Jay was exactly the kind of directed, optimistic and strategic leader Geneva Rock needed.”
Dalling has been with Clyde Companies since 2017. He held leadership positions at Sunroc, another Clyde subsidiary, before becoming the vice president of construction at Geneva Rock in 2022. Dalling began his career in the oil and gas industry, having earned degrees in mechanical engineering and business administration at Brigham Young University.
“What a privilege it has been to work with Jay Ritchie,” said Dalling. “It’s an important time for us to address challenges facing Utah’s critical infrastructure. I’m honored to tackle this work with so many talented and good people here at Geneva Rock.”
“Jay Ritchie’s leadership leaves a legacy of success as he has played a crucial role in developing Geneva Rock into a multi-million-dollar enterprise with a workforce of over 1,000 employees,” said a statement announcing Ritchie’s retirement.
“Geneva Rock has been my home for 35 years, and I’m truly proud of the work we’ve accomplished,” said Ritchie. “I’m honored to pass the leadership to Ryan Dalling and trust he will take Geneva Rock to the next level.”
