About Andre Rivera-Hasche

As Co-Owner and Head of Growth at Dry Dock Painting, I lead business development, operations strategy, and full-cycle project execution for a rapidly scaling commercial painting contractor. We specialize in high-volume, deadline-driven repaints—serving university housing, dormitories, and multi-unit residential portfolios across NYC.At the core of my role is driving strategies that accelerate revenue growth while strengthening profitability. Over a three-year period, I helped scale the business into a high-growth operation by building a disciplined, systems-driven model rooted in data, accountability, and execution. In the most recent year alone, we delivered 33% year-over-year growth—reinforcing the strength, consistency, and scalability of our approach. We’ve positioned Dry Dock as a premier contractor by delivering a level of customer service and project reliability that consistently exceeds expectations.I have a natural inclination toward understanding how systems work—and more importantly, how to build ones that scale. My day-to-day is rooted in analyzing job costing, production data, and workflow patterns—not just to track performance, but to extract insight. That insight fuels smarter decision-making, tighter margins, and consistent, high-quality outcomes in the field.We don’t just paint—we operate a system.Trust the data. Trust the process.

   Key Responsibilities & Focus Areas:Job Costing & Production ManagementArchitected and deployed a proprietary job costing and production management system in 2024 that fundamentally changed how Dry Dock Painting operates.
