Women in Home Improvement: A Leadership Journey

Erika Mosse
Abby Binder
Anne Marshall

Erika Mosse, Director of Content @Pro Remodeler
Abby Binder, President & CEO @Abby Windows & Exteriors
Anne Marshall, Co-CEO @Marshall Building & Remodeling

Women make up less than 10% of the construction industry overall, and sadly that number is even smaller when it comes to home improvement. Sadder still, it shrinks to almost nothing once you assess the percentage of women who are leaders or high-level managers with home improvement companies. Why is that the case? What can, and should, be done to increase the visibility and influence of women in home improvement? Hear from a panel of women industry leaders as they discuss their career journey in home improvement and share valuable insights for growing our numbers.
