As we embrace Women in Construction Week, we are thrilled to spotlight an extraordinary milestone within our Maven family that embodies the essence of this celebration. Maraika De Groot, our Director of Operations, was distinguished by On-Site Magazine in their 2023 Top 40 Under 40 in Canadian Construction program.
This accolade is part of the fourth iteration of a highly esteemed industry recognition, shining a light on 40 trailblazers who are reshaping the construction landscape in Canada. It’s a testament to the ingenuity, dedication, and influence these individuals wield within the sector, and Maraika’s inclusion is a beacon of inspiration, particularly for women aspiring to make their mark in this traditionally male-dominated field.
At the helm of Human Resources, Health & Safety, Technology, and Facilities, Maraika has been instrumental in nurturing Maven’s culture. Her visionary approach not only highlights the excellence within our organization but also paves the way for strategic enhancements in our processes and technological adoption, ensuring sustainable growth.
In celebration of her achievements and the broader theme of Women in Construction Week, Jesse Unke, President and CEO of Maven, expressed his admiration, “We are immensely proud of Maraika and her groundbreaking achievements in the construction industry. Her dedication, leadership, and innovative spirit are invaluable to Maven, and she embodies the excellence we strive for. Maraika is not just a leader within our ranks; she is a pivotal figure in advocating for diversity and mentorship in construction. Her impact extends far beyond our organization, inspiring a new generation to break barriers and redefine the industry landscape.”
