Larry Webb, former CEO of New Homes Co & John Laing Homes: How to be Triumphant in Tough Times

In this episode, we’re delighted to welcome Larry Webb, retired homebuilding Hall-of-Famer, who is in discussion with Gerard Ball, US Human Capital President. It’s safe to say that Larry Webb knows a thing or two about not only surviving but thriving in harsh economic conditions. He founded the New Homes Company, a west-coast focussed public home builder, during the depths of the financial crisis in 2009. Larry was CEO for just over a decade, before selling to Apollo private equity in a $338 million deal. Prior to forming The New Home Company, Larry was the CEO of John Laing Homes where he was instrumental in growing the business to be the second-largest private homebuilder in the US, selling the firm in 2006 in the largest private residential transaction in US history. It’s these headlines which make Larry both a fantastic and timely guest on the US Homebuilder “From Good To Great” podcast. From why the devil is in the detail with thorough surveying to how some of your biggest personnel gains can be made by hiring in down markets; this podcast contains insights and wisdom in abundance thanks to Larry’s willingness to share.
