Barbara Kavovit was the founder and chief executive of one of the largest female owned renovation and construction management companies in New York City.
“When I was younger, I never imagined that I would be the founder/CEO of one of the most successful construction management companies in New York City. At the time it never occurred to me that construction was a career path for women’.
After 9/11, I established Barbara K! Enterprises and was the innovator of a line of ergonomically designed home improvement tools for women. I take great pride in knowing that I have created tools and kits that have helped develop skills and confidence for women to participate in any home repair.
My newest venture, “BARBARA’S WAY” uses my background and expertise to further my mission to empower women in other areas of the home where they may not feel confident – one such is plumbing.
With 10 years experience in construction, Barbara K recognized the need for tools designed specifically for women. Barbara K’s extensive line of high-quality do-it-yourself kits, tools and accessories were launched in the first quarter of 2004. The barbara k! signature 30-Piece Toolkit, is a must-have for women. “The barbara k! Toolkit proves that Rosie the Riveter can also be Riveting,” explains Barbara K. Packaged in a sleek, compact carrying case, the beautifully designed tools are perfect for women, combining practical solutions and fashion.
Reinforcing Barbara’s mission to educate women, the products include the how-to booklet, Barbara K: A Simple Guide to Home Repair.
The introduction of barbara k! and Barbara’s Way coincides perfectly with the home-improvement movement in which women are playing an increasingly prominent role.
Barbara K envisions a similar picture with her brand…and then some. “My products encourage women to be more self-sufficient, more cost-efficient and more independent.”
