Kristin Sweeney, a 2006 graduate of Virginia Tech's Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering, currently serves as director of operations for U.S. Aggregates in Indiana. She leads the aggregate plants, which produce in excess of nine million tons of aggregates per year.

Before joining U.S. Aggregates, Sweeney spent her career working for CRH, most often with Pennsy Supply in Pennsylvania. During her tenure with CRH, she had a diversity of roles in operations, sales, and performance management. Most recently, she served as area manager for east operations at Pennsy Supply.
