Demystifying The Elevator Consulting Industry with Christine Workman
After many years in the construction industry, our guest, Christine Workman, had an aha moment facing an elevator. The first thing she noticed was that nobody around seemed to know much about them, and the second thing she noticed was that until elevators are inspected, it is not possible to get anything done.
The idea of getting into the elevators industry was roaming inside her mind when destiny decided to give her a little push: Otis Elevator, one of the industry's giants, found her resume on monster.com.
Christine Workman is a Regional Account Manager and Partner at MHI-Consulting. She has over 30 years of experience in the construction industry, the last 13 of them in the elevators trade.
In this episode, we dive into Christine's extensive career in the trades, her decision to get into the construction industry, and then niching down into the elevators' side of the industry. We talked about her experiences working for two industry giants, Otis Elevator and KONE Americas, their differences, and why she decided to move to Vertical Systems Analisis, where she transitioned from Project Manager to Consultant. We also talk about the pandemic effects, her favorite activity to unwind from a busy day, and the benefits of pursuing a career in the trades.
Some Questions I Ask:
- You were an Assistant Director of Code Enforcement & Zoning for a brief period. And then I guess you realized that you wanted something different, and Otis had reached out. Right? (5:48)
- You were a Project Manager, and you were also a Service Sales Account Manager. Then you moved on to KONE Americas? (10:14)
- You worked for Vertical Systems Analysis. How was that transition from working with one of the big four to becoming a consultant? (15:15)
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- Why Christine decided to join the construction industry (3:08)
- About how Christine discovered the possibilities in the elevators industry (4:58)
- About Christine's transition into the consulting world (16:57)
- Becoming a partner at MHI-Consulting and the role COVID had in that opportunity (22:46)
