Karen Clifton

Hospitality

After a successful career in the apparel industry, where I traveled internationally, sourcing factories, and products, it came time for a change. I wanted to work for a company that truly made a difference in people’s lives. That’s what attracted me to Servpro of Chesterfield. In my 7 years as a commercial account manager, I have earned my IICRC Certification in Water Damage
Restoration and have grown our active commercial account base in Richmond area markets and beyond. Building relationships, assisting with emergencies, educating clients, and offering emergency ready programs for commercial businesses are my daily goals. I am a member of CREW, IFMA and IREM where I enjoy working with commercial facility managers, and professionals in the local and international real estate markets sharing my knowledge of restoration, remediation, and reconstruction.
