Lisa Prince – General Manager, Ocean Blue Pools
Lisa Prince brings more than 20 years of experience to the pool industry. She joined the family business in 2002 at the encouragement of her brother, Baron. Early on, Lisa recognized that to truly understand the industry—and earn respect—she needed to immerse herself in every aspect of the construction process.
“Being a woman in construction used to be such a challenge.I remember being on the phone with an upset customer and having to hand it off to my boss to calm him down. I didn’t want to accept that, so I educated myself on the entire process. I learned about the equipment, the stages, and started visiting job sites. I made it a point to understand every phase so I could handle challenges with confidence.”
Lisa credits her success to a core set of principles:listening, honesty, customer service, and communication. “No two projects are the same—whether it’s the design, the backyard, or the customer. Focusing on those key areas allows me to adapt and move seamlessly from one project to the next.” What brings Lisa the greatest pride is the impact her work has on families. “Every laugh and memory created by the pool is because they trusted Ocean Blue Pools.”
