We are excited to welcome Ashleigh Laabs as our Company Integrator/COO!
Ashleigh officially rejoined our team on January 30, 2023. She will be replacing Christine Mozer in this role of Integrator/COO. They will work together over the next few months to ensure a smooth transition.
Ashleigh is a dynamic integrator and goal-driven business leader who loves to “make ideas happen” and to see results.

As a family-owned business running on EOS® (Entrepreneurial Operating System), Populist Cleaning Co has held a special place in my heart. I am humbled by this opportunity and really excited to be back with the wonderful leadership team at Populist. I look forward to creating additional value for our quality partners as we execute Populist Cleaning Co’s growth strategy to achieve continued success and strengthen the business operations for generations to come.
