Claire Wilson is the co-founder and CEO of Siteline, but she started her career as a civil engineer and project manager at Tishman Construction — working on Hudson Yards and JP Morgan's corporate headquarters.
In this episode, Claire talks about what she saw in the trenches, why Siteline was built specifically for subs (not GCs), and what it actually looks like when a contractor goes from scattered spreadsheets to a centralized billing system.
She also shares her take on peer groups, the CFMA community, and why "this is just how the industry works" is the mindset holding construction financial management back.
