HONORING A FAMILY LEGACY There were occasions when Kathryn Maloney-Langmade walked into business meetings and was assumed to be someone’s secretary. There were also people who walked through her doors asking to speak to the president of the company and not believing they already were. But after 20 years of working for the company her parents started, the president of W.J. Maloney Plumbing has proven she deserves her place in the male-dominated industry and rarely hears those comments these days. “As you develop relationships with contractors and go to meetings, you begin to earn respect,” says Maloney-Langmade, who goes by Kitty. “As I got more into the trade, people welcomed me.” William Joseph Maloney and Mary Kathryn Maloney started the business in 1964. Maloney-Langmade, a licensed plumber, was born the same year and grew up in the business. Her father hailed from a family of plumbing professionals and, in addition to plumbing, had a talent for designing and building. This was key to the company’s success and growth. “His drive and work ethic is what I learned and it’s what keeps you going, especially in a trade like construction,” Maloney-Langmade says. Her mother did a variety of jobs, from managing the finances to handling the parts department, and learned how to plumb on the job. When Maloney-Langmade was a child,
a faucet in the house broke during the night. Her mother went into the street and turned off the water line because she didn’t want to wake her husband. It was a light-bulb moment for Maloney-Langmade. “I realized my mom was a pretty capable female,” she recalls. “I was in my flannel nightgown looking at her and I said, ‘Wow mom. You’re pretty smart.’” Maloney-Langmade earned a business administration degree from Colorado State University and returned home to earn her MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management. She started working for the family business in 1996, and held various positions before becoming president in 2009, three years after her father died. Maloney-Langmade has been married to her husband Andrew for 20 years. They have three daughters. Recent notable projects include renovations to the historic Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Phoenix and Terminal 3 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Reeves Journal, a trade publication, named W.J. Maloney Plumbing its first Western Contractor of the Year in 2015. As a female business owner thriving in the plumbing industry, Maloney-Langmade’s key to success is applicable to both genders. “There is no substitute for hard work,” she says. “Stay focused and stay the course, no matter what happens. As a woman, you can definitely do anything if you put your mind to it.”
