Now a dedicated member of the New York Tech’s Board of Trustees, he brings a lifetime of leadership shaped by decades of real-world experience and a passion for meaningful impact. When he joined Milrose Consultants as a partner in 1989, the firm was a three-person startup based in Queens, NY. With operational savvy, a tireless work ethic, and a talent for cultivating lasting client relationships, he and his partners built something remarkable. Through thoughtful strategy, relentless effort, and a shared commitment to excellence, Milrose grew into a 400+ person powerhouse with a presence in every major U.S. market. What began as a small local firm is now a nationally recognized leader in building code consulting and compliance services—a legacy shaped by collaboration, resilience, and dedication to client success.Read More His contributions, however, extend far beyond business growth. Deeply committed to philanthropy, he endeavors to improve lives through charitable initiatives, coaching and mentorship. His involvement with New York Tech began as an active alumnus and executive member of the FRIENDS of the School of Architecture and Design (SoAD). Embracing this role, he helped launch the university’s first dedicated fundraising event for the SoAD, an initiative that started in September of 2008, raising scholarship funds and connecting professionals with students across architecture, construction, and design. He also partnered with Dean Maria Perbellini to fund the Dean’s Atelier Studio, a hands-on learning space that prepares students for the evolving world of architecture. Named in honor of his parents, Tommaso and Franca Chieco, the studio reflects his belief in mentorship, education, and the power of opportunity. This remarkable body of work, spanning nearly four decades, led to his appointment to the NY Tech’s Board of Trustees, where he continues to champion strategic initiatives that advance the university’s mission and empower its students. At the same time, he remains Co-Chairman of the Board at Milrose, advising on national growth, evaluating acquisition opportunities, and ensuring alignment between the company’s strategic goals and execution. Whether guiding leadership or speaking at industry conferences, he serves as a trusted voice and connector across the built environment. At his core, Domenick Chieco is a builder—not just of companies, but of communities, careers, and possibilities.
