The Providence Group Announces New Chief Operations Officer

The Providence Group of Georgia, LLC, a Green Brick partner, is excited to announce the hiring of Jeff Kingsfield as its new chief operations officer. Kingsfield brings 25-plus years of Atlanta home building and operations experience to the leadership team.

After graduating from Georgia Tech with a degree in architecture, Kingsfield started his career at John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods as a builder. Just prior to the 1996 Olympics, Kingsfield left John Wieland Homes to join a small privately held builder in Paulding County as their vice president of construction. He quickly grew the business and was named president of Southlife Homes in 1998. Under his leadership, Southlife was recognized for growing the business into the Atlanta Business Chronicle's Top 10 Builders in Atlanta.

In 1999, Kingsfield started his own building company, Vision Built Homes. Once again, he enjoyed solid growth and success while leading the company and navigating its acquisition by David Weekley Homes in 2004. Kingsfield served as the Atlanta division president until he rejoined the John Wieland Homes' team in 2006.

Over the last 10 years, Kingsfield worked as a member of the senior executive team at John Wieland Homes and as the executive vice president sales and operations for all five cities. His efforts helped John Wieland Homes survive the downturn and reposition the company for renewed growth as a result of the Wheelock acquisition. In 2011, Kingsfield accepted the position as the Atlanta division president and led the efforts to acquire and develop 14 new communities and grow the business to over $150 million in annual revenue in 2015. Over the last 18 months, he helped lead John Wieland Homes through the acquisition by The Pulte Group.

"We are thrilled to have Jeff join our team," said Warren Jolly, president of The Providence Group. "Jeff's experience and local knowledge will enhance The Providence Group's position in the industry and will assist in our success and growth plans going forward."

At The Providence Group, Kingsfield will be responsible for the daily operations of the home building business including oversight of the land development operations. Kingsfield’s experience as a luxury home builder will help solidify The Providence Group’s strategy to deliver well-designed luxury homes in compelling neighborhoods across the city.

Kingsfield and his wife, Kelly, have four children from the ages of 14 to 27 and live near Chastain Park in Buckhead. He and Mrs. Kingsfield are both avid triathletes and have completed eight Ironman triathlons on their journey to compete in the World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.
