Safe & Green Holdings Corp., a developer, designer and fabricator of modular as well as container-based structures, has promoted David Cross to senior vice president of sales and business development.
Cross, a graduate of the Maine Maritime Academy, began his career as a deck officer, predominantly working with Maersk Line Limited. His journey post-sea led him to managerial roles in intermodal/equipment container control, spanning the United States and China, with the Maersk and Cosco Lines. Among his accomplishments, Cross leveraged his expertise in container technology to pioneer the PACE (Portable Applications and Containerized Engineering) concept. This innovative approach utilized shipping containers as foundational elements for construction projects.
Furthering his vision, Cross, together with fellow founders of the company, developed a unique design and fabrication methodology centered around transforming standard cargo shipping containers into code-compliant, engineered structures. At the request of FEMA, Cross has also testified before the 111th Congress on containerized applications for use in emergency response initiatives

Not only is he one of the foremost executives and leaders in this industry, but he has consistently demonstrated his dedication to the company, our customers and our shareholders. We look forward to his continued contributions in his expanded leadership role.”
