Joining Jonathan Goldhill in this episode of the Disruptive Successor is Christy Crook. Christy gives a comprehensive rundown of how she made a big break in growing her business, Phoenix Masonry, in the time of recession and establishing a solid repertoire in a male-dominated industry.
Christy Crook, the founder and President of Phoenix Masonry Inc., started her success story with humble beginnings, being directly exposed in the construction industry by following her dad around in job sites.
Finding her purpose seeing how her dad’s work built things from the ground up, she decided to also work her way into the industry earning her BA in Organizational Communication and Business Management from the Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2002 and her International MBA from the University of Denver in the year 2007.
Her experience flourished as she worked at multiple masonry construction firms taking up various roles, including Safety Director and Director of Business Development, and in 2010, she took the leap to leave her previous position to found Phoenix Masonry.
Christy is a board member of the American Subcontractors Association and is one of the forerunners of Transportation and Construction Girl - a non-profit that encourages young women to explore careers in the transportation and construction industries. She is also an active member of the American General Contractors Association, Rocky Mountain Masonry Institute, and the National Association of Women in Construction.
