Chief Revenue Officer
Dan deMont joined the Juniper team in 2011. At the time Juniper had one branch but was preparing for growth. As the company’s first business developer he focused on diversification in three categories. First, service offering. Second, client base. Third, footprint.
Dan and Brandon were the architects of Juniper’s Design, Build and Maintain strategy. This caught like wildfire by 2012 as clients saw overwhelming value in having a sole source provider with full accountability. This value fueled rapid expansion of market share with existing clients and set Juniper up for an influx of new clients.
With that platform, Juniper added hundreds of clients over the next few years and balanced it’s construction & maintenance business substantially between residential, commercial & government work.
Under Dan’s leadership and in significant organic fashion, Juniper expanded into new geographic markets. Juniper’s footprint covers the entire southern half of Florida and services their clients from 9 branches and counting. Juniper is solicited to new markets for the largest and highest profile jobs in the state.
