ORLANDO, Fla. — Editor’s note: This story is available as a result of a content partnership between WFTV and the Orlando Business Journal.
“I love the challenges Disney gives me. The harder the challenge, the better me you get,” said Debbie Rodriguez, CEO of Altamonte Springs-based Competitive Edge Partners & Consulting LLC, recalling themes in her eight years providing services to Walt Disney World. “When I say challenges, I’m talking about good opportunities to do unique things.”
The company’s first Disney contract was for a 2017 room rehab at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. It was a Division 1 job, which essentially meant serving as the general contractor’s right hand — handling daily and final cleaning, laydown yard maintenance and setting up temporary facilities.
The goal was to grow the services her company provides to Disney, expanding naturally as opportunities arose. That would happen in 2018.
