Jessica Anderson of Anderson Concrete Corp. is Recognized with National Transformational Woman in Business Award

COLUMBUS, OH – July 13, 2023 – Jessica Anderson of Anderson Concrete Corp. was honored Wednesday, June 7 at the Transformational Women of 2023 Dinner and Awards in Denver, Colorado. The event is put on by Family Business Magazine as part of their annual Transformational Women in Family Business Conference where women in family businesses are invited to join together to explore and develop their skills in order to empower them with all the tools they need to succeed.

During the Transformational Women of 2023 Dinner and Awards, 10 female leaders were recognized for their achievements in preserving their family legacy while advancing their business into the future. This list recognizes an exemplary group of executives, representing a wide variety of family businesses, from construction and manufacturing to food and beverage.

“I am honored to be recognized alongside a group of extraordinary women for whom I have great respect,” said Anderson. “It is my pleasure to represent our industry, the Anderson Concrete team and our partners.”

As Jessica has worked her way up through both Anderson Concrete and its sister company, Buckeye Ready Mix, she has experienced its mission, vision and values at all levels. After being named president in 2021, much of her work has focused on further anchoring company culture to those ideals. “Our values tell the story of our company that goes back decades,” she says. “I know that much of our strength as a company comes from the foundations that the generations before me have laid. I have been honored to learn from them and to lead the organization forward. This recognition feels like a celebration of that.”

During the conference, Jessica also served as a panelist for the “Real Talk: A Conversation with Women in Family Business” panel where she and her peers spoke about the joys, pain points and vast complexities faced by women in their position. As Anderson Concrete’s first female president in a male dominated industry, her insight and experience offered attendees a unique perspective.
