Starline Windows makes over 10,000 entirely custom windows every month, no two the same. As Chief Operating Officer, Lesley Noland has spent more than two decades turning that complexity into an advantage, driving a run of industry-first moves in materials, automation, and digital design. In this episode, she traces Starline’s path from early powder-coat adoption to Autodesk-based BIM workflows and AI-driven automation, and reflects on the culture beneath it all: stay ahead of the curve, empower your people, celebrate failure, and never mistake a crazy idea for a bad one.
