Join us for coffee with Maron Green, Chief Operating Officer of JAPA Equipment Rentals and Machinery Group!
This episode offers a fascinating look into the world of industrial equipment and family business.
Hear how this Edmonton native, a proud alumna of St. Francis Xavier High School and a U of A International Business degree holder (fluent in French!), got her start at her family's company, JAPA. Discover how a temporary accounting role covering a medical leave became her gateway, and how her later pursuit of a second degree in Public Relations further shaped her path.
Maron shares the intriguing origins of JAPA—including how the company got its unique name and the story behind their very first building. You'll learn about a pivotal moment when a Chinese businessman's visit led to JAPA securing an official direct dealer agreement with XCMG in 2016, shifting from brokered equipment to sourcing directly. She also offers candid insights into the unique dynamics and rewards of working effectively within a family business.
(Heads up: We're keeping it real – our intro music plays twice at the start, we just loved it too much!)
