Our New Leadership

Hess, Roise and Company is excited to announce a new generation of leadership. After over thirty years in preservation, our president and co-founder, Charlene Roise, has handed the baton to long-time employees Elizabeth Gales and Rachel Peterson on July 1, 2020.

Hess Roise was founded by Charlene Roise and Jeff Hess in 1990, and Charlene has served as president since 1997. Through her leadership, Hess Roise has grown into a highly respected and recognized historical consulting firm. Charlene will continue to work with the company as a consultant and as our president emeritus.

Elizabeth and Rachel are honored to take the lead of this distinguished firm. With over two decades of combined experience, their expertise in a variety of projects has led to successful outcomes for our clients. Under their direction, Hess Roise will continue to provide the same high-quality service and standards.

Charlene, Elizabeth, and Rachel are excited to extend the legacy of Hess Roise into this new chapter.
