Our speaker this month will be Angie Thacker, CEO of Pinam Construction. Born in Mexico and raised in South Texas, in her early teenage years, Angelica traveled with her family to South Carolina as a seasonal migrant worker. She learned at a very young age that she had to break the culture chains of where she came from. After a few years and a lot of trial and error, she found her passion in the construction industry. As a female in a male dominated field, she started off as a labor, cleaning construction job sites and worked her way to the top by learning the industry and all the challenges that came with it. She is now the owner of PINAM Construction an unlimited general contractor in the state of North Carolina. Angie is the first Hispanic to receive an inductee award from the North Carolina Women Business Owner’s Hall of Fame 2023. She was General Contractor of the year 2022 by the Hispanic Contractors Association. Under Angie’s leadership Pinam Construction has grown from two men and a truck era to working on state and federal level projects. She advocates for equality and inclusion for Latinos in the construction industry and partners with Hispanic/Latino organizations such as Hispanic Contractors Association of the Carolinas, the Mexican Consulate and Propsera USA.
