Ronnie Pertnoy has more than 4 decades of proven leadership experience in the high-end residential and commercial construction sectors. His strategic approach to construction and development is reflected in his work as a founding Principal Partner of Shapiro Pertnoy Companies. An accomplished corporate strategist, his vision in concert with fellow
founding Partner and cousin Steven Shapiro has fueled Shapiro Pertnoy’s momentous growth over the last three decades.
With a rare blend of creative and operational strengths, Ronnie oversees all facets of construction and development. Ronnie began his professional career in retail, working for a family owned and operated men’s clothing store. After working for his father and uncle for several years, Ronnie developed an interest in construction. Fortunate to have access to the large pool of builders and developers headquartered in Dade County, Florida, Ronnie began knocking on doors asking how he could learn the business of construction. He interviewed with several companies and eventually met with Cal Kovens of Kovens Enterprises in Miami. Cal told Ronnie to show up the following Monday. Under the personal tutelage of Kovens, Ronnie gained valuable experience in the construction of luxury high rises, hotels and Publix shopping centers throughout South Florida. Having worked with Kovens for several years Ronnie states, “I am proud to have been Cal Kovens’ protégé.”
