Accelerated Advancement
MAXI-CON2 (www.maxi-con2.com; 301-931-3206), a construction contractor in Beltsville, Maryland, is turning into an impressive do-over for Julie Elliott. After climbing the ranks in a construction company from administrative assistant to division manager, she found herself downsized in 2007. So, utilizing her skills in project management and small business support, Elliott started anew—this time as president and CEO of her own business.
