    Started at the Bottom, Now Running the Company

    Helen Shahid is the Director of Operations at Master Roofing, but what makes her story really interesting is that she didn’t start there. She actually started in sales and customer service, learning the business from the ground up, working directly with customers, solving problems, and understanding how the company operated day to day. Over time she grew inside the company, took on more responsibility, built systems, helped scale operations, and eventually became the Director of Operations, where she now helps run the engine of the entire business. Today we’re going to break down that journey, what she learned at every stage, how the company scaled, and the operational playbook behind building a successful company. ⸻Follow Us OnlineInstagram → @quinnvincentt (https://instagram.com/quinnvincentt)TikTok → @quinnvincentt (https://tiktok.com/@quinnvincentt)YouTube → @quinn.schilz (https://youtube.com/@Quinn.Schilz)LinkedIn → Quinn Schilz (http://www.linkedin.com/in/quinn-v-schilz-7a515797)Spotify → Listen Here (https://open.spotify.com/show/2F0qK4fyZRVA5van859VrH?si=ffe48feec8494b5d)Apple Podcasts → Listen Here (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/built-to-scale-podcast/id1823789408)Website → https://linkin.bio/quinnvincent/⸻ About Built to ScaleI’m Quinn Schilz, founder of Master Roofing and host of Built to Scale.
