Cesar Diaz

To simply call Cesar Diaz “a numbers guy” would be an understatement. From his deep appreciation of music — the compositional theory of which is based on math — and his years of performing live as a drummer to his role as Senior Vice President of Data Analytics, Cesar is steeped in numbers.

Early in his career at Barton Malow, Cesar led financial management processes, policies, and programs for 150 construction projects valued at more than $1 billion per year. During that time, he also played a pivotal role in implementing SAP across the Barton Malow enterprise. After spending several years as a Chief Financial Officer at a national construction firm, he returned to Barton Malow in 2020 to lead the enterprise’s forward-thinking push into advanced data analytics.

In his current role, Cesar oversees Barton Malow’s external business environment through scanning and research and leverages business intelligence tools to support decision-making. Machine learning, data analytics, and AI-powered predictive tools are the next frontier in the business world, and much of Cesar’s time is focused on how these tools can be used to identify areas of improvement, streamline processes, and advance the construction industry.
