The North Shore Chamber of Commerce, Inc. recently hosted its annual Diamond Awards breakfast to honor six outstanding women of influence and leadership in the region. Windover’s Jess Cranney was one of the six fantastic awardees, and we are proud that she was recognized for her commitment and passion for leading with purpose, empowering women, serving others, and making a positive impact.
But Jess’s achievements and commitment to serving expand well beyond Windover. In addition to her role as Project Manager for Windover’s Field Support Team & Special Projects, Jess is a:
🔨 Mentor to students from Essex North Shore Agricultural & Technical School who are interested in careers in construction;
🐶 Certified Search and Rescue K9 handler and volunteers her time selflessly, using her three black Labradors, Jackson, Bowyer, and Welles, to serve in Search and Rescue missions, helping locate missing and deceased persons;
✈️ Licensed Pilot and held a 50-ton Master Captain’s License issued by the U.S. Coast Guard; and
🐕🦺Vice President of the Massachusetts Canine Response Team, a volunteer search and rescue organization she has proudly served for the past 10 years.
By breaking stereotypes in the field and staying grounded in service, Jess quietly redefines what leadership can look like. She embodies Windover’s mission, making the construction industry more inclusive, compassionate, and forward-thinking in the process.
