The Ideal Group, Inc.’s Post

Born into the family business, Linzie Venegas Tee'04, TEE'10 has been a part of The Ideal Group, Inc. since she could say the alphabet. Now, as president, she’s at the helm of the multi-company enterprise, driving growth and community impact in southwest Detroit. “Even though we’re a small business, I never really worked for my dad,” Venegas shares. “He always had me working for someone else in the office...I was using Excel and PowerPoint when I was 11 or 12.” This early hands-on experience laid the foundation for her role today, where she oversees accounting, HR, administration, and marketing for the company’s diverse ventures. “The greatest thing about being in business is your employees. You have to really love people to be in business,” Venegas says, reflecting the core values that guide her work. A proud alumna of Tuck Executive Education's Diversity Business Programs, Building a Successful Diverse Business and Growing an Established Diverse Business, Venegas gives back by teaching in the very same programs.

Our team came together with our partners at General Motors to celebrate our 14th GM Supplier of the Year award! This year, we took the celebration to the M1 Concourse in Pontiac. Thank you to our trade partners, who were also in attendance, for supporting our projects across various GM sites. This accomplishment would not be possible without strong subcontracting partners. We are thrilled to have been recognized again by General Motors as a strategic supplier, and we look forward to our continued collaboration on future projects. #IdealContracting #GeneralMotors #SOY #BuildingTogether
