MKJ Celebrates 14 years

MKJ CELEBRATES 14 YEARS!

MOM BOSS

As Mother’s Day approaches and the 14^th anniversary of MKJ directly follows, I can’t help but think, “If not for my mom, industry legend and leader Carol Kleinberg, where would I be?!”

As the original working-mom, this woman has led by example – entering the room with her beautiful smile and slaying the masses with her intellect and willingness to move mountains to get ‘it’ done, no matter what ‘it’ was.

In the late 1970’s the economy was in peril – my father was a furloughed electrician and my mom the consummate salesperson sold his skills and so began Kleinberg Electric. When I speak to my staff about being a family business it is because from my perspective, having worked in a variety of business models it’s truly is best kind. When you work for or with a family owned and operated entity you matter, your family matters, your future matters. My siblings and I have been estimating and project managing our entire lives – there was never a time that Carol didn’t have us working (weeding, waitressing, bagging groceries) and as we’d walk in the door from a day’s work she would let us know how proud she was of our effort – instilling in us a work ethic that remains with Monica (the M) who owns a hair salon, Kory (the K) who is the future of KEI, and me (the J) today.

My mom showed me time and again that her female-ness was not a barrier. Of course in a male-dominated industry it was, and still is, an obstacle – but never an excuse to fail. Thank you Big Momma, for giving me the platform, for lifting me and countless other females in the construction industry, and beyond, higher than we could have dreamed for ourselves.

Carol Kleinberg, you are fearless, you are tireless, and you are a maverick on this and every Mother’s Day.

I truly celebrate the ceiling you shattered and the light you have brought to the NYC construction industry, your staff, my staff, our family, and to me.

MAMA OF THE MKJ BAMBINI

I want to give a nod to all of the MKJ moms who put in a full day at work and still go home and take care of their families, but a special shout out must be given to Evelina, our in house problem solver, never say no-er. If you need something done and nobody else can do it, she will figure out how.

Thank you from the bottom of our collective team heart for all that you do.

ALL.OF. IT.

Without you, payroll, invoices, purchases and so much more would never happen. We see you and all that you do and if we weren’t social distancing we’d be raising our coffee mugs with a little somethin’-somethin’ in your direction, in honor of how much we appreciate all that you do on a daily basis for each and every member of Team MKJ.

So thank you, thank you, thank you for being the glue that holds MKJ together.

UNTIL WE CAN CELEBRATE TOGETHER

Team MKJ works hard to get each and every job done but we also love a good reason to celebrate.

On May 16th we’re celebrating 14 years of serving the Tri-State area as the leading systems integration company and normally we’d be throwing a big office party to toast one of our most successful years to date.

But given the current situation, we can’t. So here’s a virtual, celebratory, thank you.

To my loyal clients and customers – thank you for trusting us to design, implement, and integrate your custom communication needs over the last 14 years. No matter how big or small the job you’ve given to us, we appreciate each and every one – as it’s led to our amazing growth. We wouldn’t be where we are without you, and we are extremely grateful.

And to my beloved employees, please know how grateful I am for your hard work on a daily basis, especially during this unprecedented time. You go above and beyond, working overnight shifts, coming to the office during a pandemic, and consistently giving 110% to each and every job we take on.

As we look back on all of the amazing projects we’ve already completed, we’re extremely excited for all of the new ones we’ve taken on for the rest of 2020 and beyond.

XO Jennifer Herman Feldman, Founder, MKJ Communications.

14 YEARS OF WORK // PLAY
