Marco Campos, P.E., is the Founder, Executive Chairman, and Chief Culture Officer of Campos Companies, a family of businesses delivering engineering, construction, fabrication, staffing, consulting, digital transformation, and energy investment solutions across North America. Since founding Campos EPC from his basement in 2005, Marco has grown the organization into a leading energy infrastructure platform built on innovation, entrepreneurship, and an unwavering belief that people are every company’s greatest asset.

A Denver native and first-generation college graduate, Marco learned the values of hard work, integrity, and entrepreneurship from his grandfather, a self-employed welder, before earning his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder. Those early lessons continue to shape Campos today—where bold ideas, relentless execution, and a people-first culture are at the heart of every decision. Marco is known for challenging conventional thinking, encouraging entrepreneurial leadership at every level, and inspiring employees to grow alongside the company they help build.

While Campos Companies continues to expand across North America, Marco considers the Campos Foundation to be his most meaningful legacy. Founded to create opportunities for underrepresented minority and female students pursuing STEM careers, the Foundation now impacts more than 18,000 students annually through SmartLabs, scholarships, internships, summer bridge programs, mentorship, and university partnerships. As the Official STEM Education Partner of the Denver Broncos, the Foundation reflects Marco’s belief that success is measured not only by what a company builds, but by the lives it changes. For Marco, investing in the next generation of innovators isn’t a corporate initiative—it’s the purpose behind everything Campos strives to achieve.

Outside the office, Marco is a proud father of four and is rarely seen without Larry, his Boxer and well-known office companion, who has become a beloved member of the Campos family. Whether launching a new venture, mentoring future leaders, or inspiring students to pursue careers in STEM—including recent speaking engagements at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)—Marco continues to lead with the same entrepreneurial spirit that started Campos over two decades ago. He believes the future runs on what we build—but the greatest thing we can build is opportunity for others.
