Abby Reinhard Named a Floor Focus Women in Focus Trailblazer

GP Flooring Solutions is proud to announce that President and CEO Abby Reinhard has been named one of Floor Focus Magazine’s Women in Focus honorees. Abby is one of just 18 women nationwide selected for this recognition, which highlights leaders helping shape the future of the flooring industry.

A Career-Defining Decision

In her Women in Focus interview, Abby reflected on the pivotal moment that launched her career in flooring—purchasing the business 11 years ago.

“One decision that changed my career was purchasing my business 11 years ago, which was my entry into flooring.”

That decision marked the start of GP Flooring Solutions’ evolution under Abby’s leadership, guided by strategic vision, operational excellence, and a people-first mindset.

Leadership Grounded in Perspective

Abby credits steady perspective as a cornerstone of her leadership approach, shaped by advice from her predecessor, George Hage.

“Things are never as bad as they seem, and never as good as they seem either.”

This philosophy has helped Abby remain balanced through both challenges and successes while leading the organization forward.

Turning Self-Doubt Into Strength

Early in her career, Abby identified self-doubt as her biggest obstacle—and overcame it by showing up, doing the work, and trusting her ability to solve problems.

“I overcame it with enough experience of showing up, doing the work and eventually realizing that I had what it took… because I’m resourceful.”

That resourcefulness continues to define her leadership today.

Elevating Women in the Flooring Industry

Abby also shared insights on the growing presence of women in senior leadership across the flooring industry. As businesses face increasing complexity, she points to strengths such as emotional intelligence, resourcefulness, and strategic empathy as critical to effective leadership.

GP Flooring Solutions is honored to see Abby recognized among such an accomplished group of leaders. We thank Floor Focus Magazine for spotlighting the voices driving progress throughout our industry.
