Ms. Whatley currently serves as president and owner of Texstar Glazing LLC, a role she has held since 2022. In this capacity, she is responsible for ensuring her team collaborates effectively to achieve collective goals, emphasizing a structure where each member's contribution is vital to the company's success.

Ms. Whatley also leads business development initiatives, attends industry events to strengthen supplier relationships and resolves daily operational issues.

Ms. Whatley co-founded Texstar Glazing LLC in 2022 with her business partner; after one year, she assumed full ownership after successfully navigating a series of personal and professional challenges, including a landscape that meant competing with rival glass companies in the same market. Ms. Whatley is proud of sustaining her business amid uncertainty and recognizes that reaching the five-year milestone will be a testament to her company's resilience and potential for long-term success.

Before advancing to her current role, Ms. Whatley worked as an outside sales representative for Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope® from 2021 to 2023. In this position, she was responsible for cultivating client relationships and expanding the company's market presence within the building envelope sector. From 2014 to 2021, she was the pre-construction manager at Texas Commercial Glass Concepts, where Ms. Whatley oversaw project bids and management processes, leveraging her broad expertise in estimating and project administration to ensure successful project execution.

In each successive appointment, Ms. Whatley relied on earlier experience at Texas Commercial Glass Concepts, which included roles as a project administrator between 2012 and 2014 and as an administrative assistant and receptionist from 2008 to 2012. During these years, Ms. Whatley gained comprehensive experience across accounting, human resources and project management functions—skills that later fueled her ambition for business ownership.

Ms. Whatley's signature achievements have earned industry-wide recognition, including a member spotlight by the National Glass Association and a feature in the December 2024 USGlass magazine 'Women in the Industry'. Notably, Ms. Whatley maintains active membership in several prestigious organizations, including the National Glass Association, Texas Glass Association, American Subcontractor Association, Better Business Bureau, Texas Construction Association and Women's Business Enterprise National Council.

Ms. Whatley attributes her drive for success to formative experiences during childhood, which instilled in her a desire to excel in the male-dominated construction industry. Grounded in a family legacy rooted in construction, she was driven to prove herself despite skepticism about her abilities. Additionally, Ms. Whatley's persistence regarding self-improvement and continuous learning—and her enduring faith—have guided her efforts to create opportunities for women within challenging environments.
