From experience to a company built with intention
The person who helped turn the idea into the company
Innovation Clean began with the experience, work ethic, and vision of its owners. Emily Bateman helped translate that vision into the business model, client experience, operations, service structure, brand, systems, resources, and growth foundation behind the company.
What we appreciate most is that the business was designed around who we are and how we want to serve. It was never built around a generic template.
