The appointment signals NECC’s next phase of growth following RCap Equity Partners’ investment in 2024, in partnership with Monroe Capital LLC. The company is now underway with a transformation into a high-performance commercial roofing platform serving the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond.

“NECC is a company with deep roots, trusted relationships, and a reputation for performance in the field,” Williams said. “We’re here to raise the bar on field response, scale operations, and deliver reliable performance for NECC’s institutional client base. This next chapter is about action, expertise, expansion, and impact.”

Williams comes to NECC from the Florida-based EPC Panhandle Power Solutions, where he first earned a leadership role in 2009 as director of operations. He went on to serve as president and CEO, guiding the company through its acquisition in 2019 and expanding its federal contracting roots into the clean energy sector. 

He brings an MBA from New York University’s Stern School of Business, along with a track record of transforming industrial service businesses, to his role as CEO of NECC.

“Cagen is a high-integrity, high-performance leader,” said Matthew Raymon, partner at RCap. “He brings a forward-thinking, execution-focused mindset to his role as CEO. We’re confident he will position NECC as a best-in-class partner to asset managers and operators of essential infrastructure across the full building envelope.”
