DENVER — Broncos President and CEO Joe Ellis and 40 C-level executives in Denver ditched their briefcases for hard hats and protective eyewear for Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver’s CEO Build Thursday morning.
“Everyone here runs your own company, and it’s a production-based business, as we like to say in football,” Ellis said. “Our problem in football is sometimes we can’t guarantee production. But here, with Habitat for Humanity, you can just pass the judgment right away because it is productive. There is a guarantee it will be productive.”
The event, which was co-hosted by Ellis and Habitat Metro Denver’s CEO Heather Lafferty, offered an opportunity for executives to spend the day building a home to benefit low-income families.
