2017 Women in Real Estate Spotlight - Brianna Goodwin
President and CEO
Ver-Tex Shading Solutions
Years in real estate: 12
How have you navigated obstacles to achieve success in your career: I didn’t let other people limit or define my success. Coming into the construction business as a young ‘girl’ along with the stigma that comes from being the ‘bosses’ daughter’ set me up for continuous challenges to overcome throughout my career. Instead of these obstacles bringing me down, I made a deliberate decision to use them as fuel for my success. By believing in myself regardless of what others thought of me, I was able to build a respectable career and become a leader that I can be nothing but proud of.
What do you do for fun: I love all things competitive! Also, going to Patriots games ands watching NFL RedZone are among my favorite things!
