Bio
Gary McNair
Janet and I worked closely together during her time at SeaDar construction, and I can't even begin to describe how much of a pleasure it was getting to know her both professionally and personally. While developing a relationship with the team at SeaDar, led by Janet's efforts - she demonstrated an exceptional knowledge of the construction industry and a willingness to provide the resources for any of our clients specific needs or requests on a whim (no matter how small). Her positive energy brought levity to the often challenging intersection where design meets construction, in a way that was evident and invaluable to the project team as a whole. I can confidently say that without a doubt, it was Janet's efforts that made their group stand out as the selected team for our project! I'm very glad that this experience has developed into a lasting friendship, and I look forward to the next opportunity we have to work on a new project together!

I have had the distinct pleasure of working side-by-side with Janet Gorgone, supporting her sales efforts with marketing tactics, for over 15 years and across several companies and industries. Regardless of the role, Janet’s command of the sales process is matched only by her work ethic - though in the end, you’ll never see her sweat/it all looks effortless. I think her secret is that she is as, if not more, invested in the success of her clients and how she might help them achieve their goals, as she is in her own objectives. Her relationships are built on this trust, listening, care and genuine curiosity. They are the foundation of her strategy and this, coupled with an incredibly thoughtful, intelligent, driven and thorough approach to everything she does, is why she has repeatedly been tasked with building revenue streams from scratch or breaking through to the most elusive or challenging sales targets. And she has risen to the challenge to ultimately exceed expectations on every single occasion. From a marketing perspective, Janet naturally thinks like a marketer, articulating the insights and information needed to succeed in this area and as such, is a pleasure to collaborate with. She gets it. As far as human beings go, none shine brighter than Janet. She is brimming with well-placed optimism, kindness, energy, humor, open-mindedness and a real, honest-to-goodness passion for her industry that is palpable and contagious. If you have the chance to partner with Janet in any capacity, be it sharing a tea, having lunch, walking a dog, or if you’re really lucky, working with her, don’t miss out. Guaranteed your day will be better for it.
