Michael V. Petrillo has served as President of Petro Real Estate Development since its inception in 2000, leading the company to significant growth in revenue and market share over the past 24 years. Under his guidance, Petro established itself as one of the premier real estate development firms in Westchester County, N.Y. Mr. Petrillo played a key role in acquiring approximately 1 million square feet of residential and commercial space across the United States.

Before founding Petro, Mr. Petrillo gained extensive experience as a Project Executive at Felix Equities, Inc., one of New York City's largest and most successful underground utility contractors. He developed his expertise in the construction industry "from the ground up," a foundation he now applies to Petro's new construction projects. Reflecting on his career, Mr. Petrillo states, "Starting my career in such a competitive industry enabled me to develop the survival skills needed in today’s ever-changing business environment. My father’s ‘baptism by fire’ philosophy galvanized my confidence and taught me that you create your own success."

Mr. Petrillo holds a B.S. in Political Science from Boston College and is actively pursuing further education in Real Estate Development at NYU, aiming to obtain a Master's degree in Real Estate Finance.
