Angie Peters
Angie Peters believes leadership is earned through consistency, integrity, and the willingness to genuinely show up for others.
With 25 years in the glass and glazing industry, she has learned that strong operations are built on trust, accountability, and clear expectations. She holds high standards — starting with herself — because credibility matters. When people see a leader live what they expect, alignment and momentum naturally follow.
Angie is passionate about serving and supporting the people around her. Showing up for others — especially in challenging moments — is at the heart of how she leads. She believes in equipping individuals to grow, empowering them to make decisions, and creating environments where they feel both challenged and valued. Leadership, to her, is not about control; it is about investment.
Construction is demanding, and growth requires courage, resilience, and honest conversations. Angie strives to lead with clarity, unity of vision, and a long-term mindset. She measures success not only by results, but by the strength and development of the team around her.
What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success first to my two sons, Devin & Darrin. During my years as a single mother, they were my greatest motivation. They fueled my determination to build stability, strength, and a career I could be proud of. The responsibility of raising them shaped my work ethic, resilience, and drive to keep pushing forward, even when things were hard.
I also credit my husband, Steve, whose unwavering support and steady presence have been a cornerstone in my life. As a devoted partner and father figure to my boys, his encouragement has allowed me to grow with confidence both personally and professionally.
I believe both adversity and support shape strong leaders. The lessons of perseverance, responsibility, and gratitude continue to guide how I show up and lead every day.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve received wasn’t a single statement — it was the example set by leaders who trusted me with responsibility before I felt completely ready. Their message was clear: step up, grow into it, and don’t wait until you feel perfect.
That trust stretched me and built confidence through action. It taught me that leadership isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about being willing to take ownership, learn quickly, and hold yourself to a high standard.
That advice shaped how I lead today. I’m intentional about extending that same trust to others and giving people opportunities to rise.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don’t wait until you feel fully confident to step into leadership. Growth happens while you’re doing the work — that was certainly true for me. Confidence is built through competence, experience, and the willingness to take responsibility before you feel completely ready.
Stay committed to your character. In a male-dominated industry like construction, credibility matters. Focus on doing your job well, holding a high standard, and advocating for yourself when necessary — even when it feels uncomfortable. You have earned your seat at the table.
Surround yourself with strong leaders who challenge you and believe in you. I’ve been fortunate to have mentors who saw potential in me before I fully saw it in myself, and that belief made a difference. Find the people who will support you, stretch you, and hold you accountable.
And above all, do what you love and love what you do. When you care deeply about your work, you won’t just build a career — you’ll build confidence, credibility, and a legacy.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in the glass and glazing industry is developing the next generation of skilled glaziers. As seasoned craftsmen retire, we must be intentional about recruiting, training, and mentoring those entering the trade. Without investing in that pipeline, we risk losing not just manpower, but craftsmanship and pride in our work.
Construction also remains largely male-dominated. While progress is being made, women in leadership roles still work to establish credibility in spaces where they haven’t traditionally been represented. I see that not only as a challenge, but as an opportunity to lead well and raise the standard.
My hope for our industry is that we continue elevating both performance and leadership. I’d love to see more intentional mentorship — especially for young professionals and women stepping into roles that haven’t historically been filled by them. If we invest in people as deliberately as we invest in projects, our industry will be stronger for it.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Integrity is the value that anchors both my professional and personal life. To me, integrity means doing the right thing even when no one is watching. It’s about how I show up for people — consistently, honestly, and with accountability.
I believe mistakes are part of growth. No one is perfect, but character is revealed in how we respond. Owning missteps, learning from them, and moving forward better than before is what builds trust and credibility.
I also value personal growth and responsibility. I challenge myself to continually improve in the way I lead, communicate, and support others. For me, integrity isn’t just about honesty — it’s about taking ownership and striving to be better for the people who depend on me.
