After a year-long process, CCB was awarded the Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) State Certification in April 2023. A WBE certification validates that the business is at least 51% owned, operated, managed and controlled by a woman. This has been our goal ever since Lindsay Fernandez, LEED AP, became the majority owner of CCB in 2021!
Beginning her career as a summer intern at CCB in 1998, Lindsay has grown up professionally - along with the company - through both some challenging, and likewise, very successful runs. After graduating from Purdue, she returned as a field engineer in 1999, was later promoted to Project Manager, and has since worked on a variety of jobs in multiple markets.
As Lindsay took on more responsibility, she was named a principal and elevated to Director of Project Management in 2018, and on July 29, 2020, was promoted to President of Charles C. Brandt Construction. She’s the 7th person to fill that role in the rich, 115+ year history of the company.
We are excited about how this formal certification will position CCB for additional opportunities. We look forward to forging new partnership, expanding our client base, and making a meaningful impact as we continue to Build Visions into Reality.
