In this episode of Poised for Exit, we sit down with Liz Ennenga, CEO and Founder of Quad E Companies, Inc. to explore her inspiring transition from the corporate world to becoming a 100% shareholder of her own contracting firm.
Liz shares how she left a successful corporate career at Target to launch Quad E, an excavation company focused on small to medium-sized commercial and government projects, and what she’s learned building a nimble, union-based team in a male-dominated industry. She and Julie dive into the importance of mentorship, storytelling, and relationship-building when growing a business. Plus, they discuss the role that confidence and trust play in leadership and compensation (especially for women founders).
You’ll hear Liz’s philosophy on smart, efficient growth, how she identifies ideal general contractor partners, and why she’s embracing exit planning early after reading Julie’s book. From building scalable systems to attending Julie’s upcoming workshop on the 24th, Liz is laying the groundwork now to ensure Quad E can continue to grow and succeed well into the future.
