2026 Forty Under 40: HARRY L. ROLLEY DAVIS IV
PRESIDENT | SUSSEX DEVELOPMENT | VIRGINIA BEACH
Virginia Business //April 28, 2026//
A graduate of East Carolina University, Davis joined his father’s construction company, Sussex Development, full time in 2009, rising from superintendent to vice president before being named president in January. In the role, Davis oversees company operations, strategic initiatives and long-term growth. He also leads Surf Ministry, a free surf camp through Virginia Beach United Methodist Church.
GREATEST PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT: My most significant professional accomplishment has been earning the opportunity to lead Sussex Development as president after progressing through every level of the organization. Being trusted to carry forward a 35-year legacy built on integrity and strong client relationships is something I take great pride in.
HOW I GIVE BACK: At an early age I was taught by my grandfather to leave something better than you found it, whether that is volunteering in a “Clean the Bay Day” or simply picking up that piece of trash floating by instead of thinking, “Someone else will get that.”
