Houston-based home builder Perry Homes—No. 23 on the 2021 Builder 100—announced that Todd Chachere, who has served as president and chief operating officer since 2020, has become the company’s new CEO, effective immediately.
Company owner Kathy Britton will continue to direct Perry Homes’ strategy and major initiatives going forward as executive chair.
“Todd has been an extremely loyal, effective, and integral part of the Perry Homes team, and I have full faith in his ability to move the company forward as our new CEO,” says Britton. “This in-house promotion is really an extension and recognition of the incredible job Todd has been doing as our president and COO—and will allow me to focus on the long-term direction of the business and become even more involved in the charitable mission of the Perry Homes Foundation. I look forward to working closely with Todd to achieve our objectives.”
Since 2013, when Britton succeeded her late father Bob Perry, the company’s growth has surged both in terms of new markets and annual revenues, which reached $1.7 billion last year.
Chachere started at Perry Homes in 1995 as an assistant development manager, and has since been a part of the management team that has overseen a market expansion in all four major Texas markets. He first assumed the role of COO in 2016 and was also named president four years later.
“I am honored to be named CEO of Perry Homes and look forward to carrying on the legacy built by Kathy Britton and her father, Bob Perry,” says Chachere. “Our values of excellence, customer service, integrity, teamwork, and giving back are all direct results of the incredible culture they have created, and I am excited to focus on the robust growth of the company that Kathy has set in motion since 2013.”
