Antony Kountouris
Chief Executive Officer
Antony Kountouris spent the first 18 years of his life in Athens, Greece. Seeing a much greater opportunity in the States he decided to study abroad.
While obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from UC San Diego, Antony met Boris Jerkunica, the Chairman of BMarko, and teamed up with him to start the company. Boris, being a successful software entrepreneur, saw a construction industry that trailed innovation and technology by a hundred years. He identified the General Contractor model as a risk mitigation approach as opposed to a value creation approach, common in the software industry. The two of them started the journey to bring true value to construction through highly innovative approaches.
His favorite part about working for BMarko Structures is seeing the modes that his coworkers operate in; challenging all industry norms, asking a ton of questions, and bringing loads of passion towards the company mission.
Outside of work, Antony enjoys reading great books, playing not-so-great tennis, and learning new things.
Matt McConnell
VP of Container Sales
Prior to joining BMarko, Matt McConnell spent time in the State of Georgia’s Industrialized Buildings Program where he learned a great deal about modular construction.
His interest in the industry began during his time with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs where he reviewed and approved modular construction plans. Matt was also part of a team that created regulations for shipping containers to be included in the State of Georgia’s Industrialized Buildings Program and that’s how he initially crossed paths with BMarko Structures.
Since joining the team in 2017, he has embraced working in a team that faces challenges head-on and is constantly improving and innovating.
Mitch Sklar
Engineering Manager
Mitch is a seasoned professional with over 30 years of experience in modular and engineering expertise. As a Registered Professional Engineer, he holds a bachelor’s degree in Structural Design and Construction Engineering and a Master of Business Administration.
Mitch has held key positions as Vice President of engineering for well-known modular construction firms before joining BMarko. He brings a diverse skill set to the table and is adept at rapid prototyping to help architects, engineers, developers, and contractors create future-ready projects while saving time and money.
What sets Mitch apart is his love for a fresh start every day, and working alongside like-minded individuals to solve the business challenges that engineering departments face daily.

Elena Bondari

Elena is an integral part of the team and has been on board since the very beginning. She’s originally from Moldova.
She loves business process optimization and is excited to be part of a company that is transforming the normal process of the construction industry.
