Hailing from the Saskatchewan Prairies, Shauna Lenius exuded so much ambition and tenacity as a kid when asked ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’ She constantly replied,
“I’m not sure yet, but I know it will be great!” .
After business school, her first ‘great’ experience was working with the RCMP but her thirst for entrepreneurship and working for herself was a fire inside she couldn’t ignore.
With an eye for detail and an intrinsic flare for design, it seemed inevitable for Lenius to delve into multimillion dollar residential and commercial markets for clients all over North America
As Shauna’s reputation in the medical-construction vertical was rapidly spreading across Canada, a repeated question: “Are you really in construction, you don’t look like someone who would be”
Consider this another fire that lit Lenuis soul, motivating her to encourage more women and marginalized communities to enter the trades and be leaders in this industry.
At the beginning of the pandemic Shauna met Mandy Rennehan,CEO and founder of Freshco.ca, a serial advocate for the skilled trades, and construction mogul.
The two have been inseparable ever since, and now known in North America as a powerhouse industry duo.
Shauna is now the President and Shareholder of Freshco (not the grocery store!) and has grown the company exponentially with her knowledge and ability to foster authentic relationships with fortune 500 brands.
