Stacia Hobson, co-owner of Image Industries Inc, began her career in the family business upon graduating college. Although her plan was never to work for the business let alone own it, she was the key driver in transforming the business from 100% distribution to 100% manufacturing. Today, she runs operations for her family’s multimillion-dollar manufacturing business serving nine distinct vertical markets. Learning to navigate the “family politics” provided a sturdy and durable foundation for future growth. Stacia is acutely aware of what it takes to succeed as a woman in a male dominated, blue collar industry. She is passionate and proud to be in manufacturing as she feels that it is the backbone of the USA. With over three decades of experience under her belt, she has acquired extensive practical knowledge of business, relationships, and entrepreneurship. Stacia is employing her vast experience to provide business consulting services to guide leaders of all sized businesses to embrace the bold decision-making needed to achieve massive transformation. Her expertise lies in unlocking new possibilities while helping clients navigate the risk associated with these courageous choices. She leads by example and leans on her experience as she herself has made many daring decisions. She aims to create a “ripple effect” by encouraging individuals and organizations to fearlessly pursue their ambitions. By instilling a sense of empowerment and self-belief, she encourages her clients to envision and achieve what were once perceived as brave goals. Connect with Stacia on social at @staciahobson!
