    Mike Sutton is more than a tenured leader. He's a proponent of change.

    Sutton has served for 10 years in various capacities as president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties, one of the Tampa Bay area's largest nonprofits and largest homebuilding organizations with $35.71 million in 2022 revenue.

    In a 2023 op-ed for the Tampa Bay Business Journal, Sutton advocated for reducing redundancies in nonprofits. He did so firsthand, consolidating Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County with Habitat for Humanity West Pasco in 2019.

    With this mentality, the regional organization's revenue has multiplied and grown into one of the most active affordable homeownership programs nationally.

    Habitat for Humanity also recently unveiled an expansion to its Clearwater administrative headquarters in July of 2023, following an affiliate record-setting year where the organization built 73 new homes between Pinellas and West Pasco counties.
