The Building People CFO Jamie Kerner Named to Washington Business Journal’s 2025 Women Who Mean Business List

Leesburg, VA – September 2, 2025 – The Building People is proud to announce that Chief Financial Officer Jamie Kerner has been named to the Washington Business Journal’s 2025 Women Who Mean Business list, one of the region’s most prestigious awards recognizing women leaders whose influence extends across their organizations, industries, and communities.

Now in its 22nd year, Women Who Mean Business is a highly competitive signature program that honors 25 leading female executives from across the Greater Washington region. Honorees are selected through an independent editorial review based entirely on their achievements, leadership, and community contributions. Over the past two decades, the program has recognized more than 500 women who are shaping the future of business and community leadership in the region.

As CFO of The Building People, Kerner has guided the company through a period of sustained growth and transformation. Her financial expertise and leadership have strengthened the company’s resiliency and positioned it for long-term success, while advancing its mission to integrate technology, buildings, and people to deliver the future of real estate and facilities. She is also deeply committed to mentorship and expanding opportunities for women in finance and government contracting.

“Jamie’s recognition as a Woman Who Means Business is a reflection of her exceptional leadership, vision, and influence,” said Lawrence Melton, CEO & President of The Building People. “Her ability to drive both financial excellence and organizational growth makes her an indispensable part of our leadership team, and we are proud to see her honored among such an outstanding class of women.”

Kerner and her fellow honorees will be celebrated at an evening reception on October 8 and featured in a special edition of the Washington Business Journal later this fall.
