Neil Hetherington, Chief Executive Officer of Habitat for Humanity New York City, began his career in project management at Tridel Construction, Canada’s largest condominium developer.

During his time at the helm, Habitat for Humanity Toronto accelerated its building program from an average of 1 home every two years to 45 annually. The Habitat Toronto ReStore operations increased revenue by over twelve times. Neil joined Habitat NYC as its Chief Executive Officer in 2013. He can be seen regularly building with Habitat for Humanity both locally and internationally.
