Today's episode of The Lead With Trust Show is a continuation of the Bring Women into Construction series. This time, Sue chats with Kaitlin Frank, CEO of eMOD, a safety application for construction contractors. Kaitlin has over a decade of experience leading trade crews in the field as a Superintendent in the construction industry. She envisioned and led the development of eMOD while serving as a Superintendent of an ENR Top-400 commercial general contractor. eMOD, named a 2021 Top-Product by Constructech, currently has nearly 1,000 contractors and more than 17,000 platform users.
Joining a small but growing number of women CEOs in the A/E/C sector, Frank is a recognized thought leader within the construction industry, being named a Top Tech Powered Superintendent by Plangrid in 2019, a Top Woman in Construction by Constructech in 2020 and a Construction Champion: Up and Coming Leader by Construction Dive in 2021. She acts as an industry advisor to prominent technology providers and has spoken in advocacy of technology at national conferences and podcasts. Born into a construction family, Frank holds a B.S. in Architecture and an M.S. in Construction Management from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston.
During the episode, Sue and Kaitlin discuss her early desire to be an architect and the realization that sitting at a desk all day was not the path for her, and how that led to her becoming the only female construction superintendent in Boston.
Kaitlin offers insights on the importance of being a role model for the next generation of women in the construction industry.
They also explore Kaitlin's desire to see a construction industry where being a woman on a job site is no longer a novelty, or an anomaly - it's completely normal.
Join Sue and Kaitlin for this fascinating discussion into the opportunities being created for women and how those in the industry today are paving the way to the future.
