Stephenie Davis, the president and CEO of Davis Industrial, and her mentor, insurance executive Karyn Roeling, are members of a mutual admiration society.

The two women rave about one another — Davis crediting Roeling with helping guide her as she built her business and Roeling praising Davis for the grit and effort it took to grow and expand.

“She's my mentor because she's awesome and great at what she does,” says Davis. “And she's just a genuine, caring, empathetic person (who) taught me a lot of things over the years in terms of business and personal life and everything in between.”
