About Gosia Baran
After working in the corporate world for a few years, I got laid off a few months after 9/11. Having a 4-month-old son, I chose not to go back to the corporate world but to open my own business. I had the desire of helping people; in the corporate world helping others was not the priority. In November 2001, Helping Hands was born. Today, Helping Hands is stronger than ever, employing 45 cleaning technicians and office staff. We service residential and commercial clients in the Chicagoland area.

About Ajia Holiday
Ajia Holiday (pronounced ah-Zhuh) is a member of the MaidCentral Software team and is currently the Partner Education and Training Manager. She is known as one of the most successful general managers of a residential cleaning company, growing a company from a $1 million/yr to a $3 million/yr run rate in 4 years with an absentee owner. This growth was achieved using Ajia's talent in developing analytical tools and standardizing operations. It is not often that a cleaning technician works their way to being a key member of a software team in 6 years but that is exactly what Ajia did, and she continues to bridge the gaps between cleaning technicians, operations, and software.

About RJ Patel
RJ and his wife Asha have owned PCT Clean for over 16 years. Prior to that, RJ’s family owned a hotel and were responsible for the day-to-day business, including guest services, housekeeping, and grounds keeping. RJ is the first chair of the Residential Cleaning Council, tasked with leading the association through the first two years of its merger with ISSA.
