Michelle Drolet, CEO of Towerwall, said she has never run into any difficulties having the role of woman CEO. “I feel blessed for never having been the target of discrimination or mistreatment,” Drolet said. “Like any business, we’ve had our share of clients with whom we needed to depart ways, but overall our contract renewals are at 96%. We have clients that have been with us since the ‘90s.”
