Commercial cleaning is an industry that prioritizes people, yet there remains an imbalance in the representation of leaders interested in capitalizing on business opportunities. Most building service contractors (BSCs) are still male leaders, but thanks to some early trailblazers, the industry is starting to see more women entrepreneurs gaining success.
These women continue to make significant strides in the evolving industry. By engaging in educational offerings, networking whenever possible, and remaining open to any opportunity, female BSCs are demonstrating what success can look like for future generations.
Contracting Profits reached out to several women of influence who shared their career progression and identified where female BSCs can find their footing. Their stories show that regardless of where women start in commercial cleaning, embracing opportunities can empower anyone to take the next step and launch themselves into leadership.
The female entrepreneurs sharing their journeys are:
- Harmony Trujillo, Executive Vice President of York Building Services, Inc.
- Tiffany Spelman, Founder and CEO of FlowerHill Facility Services
- Nancy Galvan, CEO of Unica Enterprises LLC
- Jeanette Pool, CEO and President of Brite Service Industries, Inc.
