Our Founder

Ramon Colon

May 5, 1976 – December 27, 2013

Innovative Contracting Services was founded by Ramon Colon, a dynamic visionary and leader.

Ramon was a proud graduate of Rochester’s Edison Technical High School where he learned the fundamentals of drafting. Ramon’s experience was then forged in the utility industry, working for Iberdola USA (formerly RG&E) for 18 years as a Mapper, Team Leader, and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.

In 2011, Ramon pursued his entrepreneurial dream and began Innovative Contracting Services. In a single year, he built the company from a sole employee — himself — to over thirty people.

Innovative Contracting Services represents Ramon’s professional legacy. The ICS culture is infused with his values and principles: a company built on ethics, excellence, and extraordinary value to clients.
