Tony DeSilvester, Portfolio CEO, recalls, "There are very, very few who achieve, through tenure, productivity and unwavering commitment to an organization, the 'Legendary' status. Mindy has a seat in that very selective group. Her tenacity, throughput, and unparalleled execution have made AssetWorks Facilities into what it is today. In addition, she has always been there to aid others in achieving their respective objectives as well. I know this first-hand as I was one of the many receiving the help!"

Her actions consistently echo the company's ethos, cultivating a culture reminiscent of earlier times yet essential for our continuous growth.
