Shari Cedar's remarkable career pivot reveals how seemingly unrelated skills can become your greatest business assets. In this episode of Figure 8, we discover the unconventional journey from TV production to becoming CEO of AK Building Services-- a major commercial janitorial company in Florida that Shari co-owns with her husband Mark.
For 25+ years, Shari Cedar has been leading with purpose and passion. Whether in TV production, where she spent her first chapter, or commercial cleaning, where she has fully dedicated her second chapter to creating growth opportunities for AK Building Services, Shari’s presence is felt by all. As CEO and Co-Owner of AK Building Services, an industry-leading family owned and operated commercial janitorial services provider in Florida that Shari owns with her husband, Mark, Shari is laser-focused on leadership and growing the organization for the team. Shari is an active participant in the industry representing the company as a member of Building Owners and Managers Association International (BOMA), CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women) Network, BSCAI and the Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce. When Shari is not serving her clients and teammates, she can be found supporting her community. She is a board member for the Pace Center for Girls, an active member of Women United, and a member of the Nova Southeastern University Ambassador Board.
As a working mom of two boys, Shari hopes to pass on her commitment to making a difference, both in business and in the community.
