Kelly joined Guignard Company as an Account Executive in 2019. Prior experience with an Orlando area surety agency as well as a background in research and event coordination make her a strong member of our team. She enjoys the experience of working with a diverse group of mainstream contractor clients, those in our small contractor’s programs and with commercial surety clients.
Passionate about service to the community, Kelly has been active with the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). While serving as President of the Greater Orlando Chapter (the largest and fastest growing chapter in the nation), Kelly led a coalition of strong and successful women with career paths throughout the Construction Industry in a variety of projects including the local High School Construction Career Camp and Block Kids competition.
Outside of Kelly’s professional accomplishments, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, as well as participating in charitable activities and rooting for the Appalachian State Mountaineers!
