Tricia Kagerer

Tricia Kagerer is the executive vice president of risk management for Jordan Foster Construction, a large construction organization that performs civil, multifamily, and general contracting across Texas. A construction industry expert and speaker on various leadership, risk management, and safety topics, and with degrees in business administration and communication-public relations, Tricia has a special passion for servant leadership and diversity in the workplace. Over the course of her more than twenty years in a historically male-dominated industry, Tricia has found herself too often in the lonely position of the sole woman in the room. It has become her mission to change that. She hopes The B Words: 13 Words Every Woman Must Navigate for Success will serve as a force for change, opening the door for the next generation of women professionals to spark a conversation, utilizing their unique voices to advocate for much-needed change, particularly in nontraditional industries like her own. Tricia Kagerer is a chartered property casualty underwriter (CPCU), a certified safety professional (CSP), a construction risk insurance specialist (CRIS), an associate in risk management (ARM), associate in claims management (AIC), a licensed Texas claims representative and commercial agent, and a past construction panel arbitrator with AAA. In her free time, Tricia enjoys skiing and spending time with her two dogs and cat. She and her husband, Marcus, have two grown-up children. They reside in Plano, Texas.
