About Diana Betancourth and Babco Building Services, LLC
Diana Betancourth, the driving force behind Babco Building Services, LLC and its affiliates, has been a trailblazer in the male-dominated janitorial sector for over 20 years. Originally from Colombia, Betancourth’s personal experiences witnessing her mother’s struggle in a cleaning job with little work-life balance motivated her to actively engage in house cleaning and transform the family business.
Through strategic decisions and a relentless focus on quality, Betancourth led Babco Building Services in shifting its operations towards “turn” apartment cleaning and commercial contracts, resulting in remarkable growth and expansion. Babco Building Services takes pride in having a large female workforce, allowing Betancourth to create a supportive work environment that reflects the values she wished for her own mother.
Betancourth’s commitment to inspiring employees to reach their full potential and fostering a culture of growth and mentorship has enabled individuals to progress from starting as Cleaners to the esteemed position of Quality Control Supervisor, gaining valuable project and people management skills along the way.
