We’re proud to share that rand* Founder and Executive Chairman, Linda Rabbitt, has once again been named an honoree in Virginia Business’ Women in Leadership Awards, a recognition that celebrates exceptional women executives across the Commonwealth who demonstrate outstanding leadership, business performance, and community impact.

Linda founded rand* in 1989, becoming one of the few women in the country to lead a commercial construction firm. Over the last 36 years, her visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to excellence have helped shape not only rand*’s culture and success, but also the evolution of the industry itself.

Her passion for mentorship, dedication to empowering the next generation of construction leaders, and advocacy for greater representation of women in construction continue to inspire our team and the broader business community.

This year, rand* was also recognized among Virginia Business’ Best Women-Owned Businesses, further reflecting our enduring impact and leadership as a woman-founded firm committed to building spaces and leaders that matter.

As we celebrate this recognition, we also look to the future with purpose. Our commitment to elevating the industry through integrity, craftsmanship, and innovation remains unwavering. We will continue to empower the next generation of leaders, ensuring that women and underrepresented voices have a meaningful seat at the table. And we will keep strengthening the communities we serve.

Congratulations, Linda, and thank you for paving the way for what’s possible.
