Janae Nezerka: Woman of Wonder 2025
We’re thrilled to announce that Janae Nezerka, proud CertaPro Painters® franchise owner and U.S. military veteran, has been named one of Franchise Dictionary Magazine’s 2025 Women of Wonder!
As a veteran and a woman thriving in a traditionally male-dominated industry, Janae exemplifies leadership, resilience, and integrity. Her dedication to building strong teams, mentoring fellow franchisees, and giving back to her community sets her apart. From creating career paths for her employees to painting homes for students with special needs, Janae turns business success into lasting impact.
Recognized Among the 2025 Women of Wonder
This year marks the seventh annual Women of Wonder celebration from
Franchise Dictionary Magazine, honoring women in franchising who are making extraordinary contributions across their industries. These 50 leaders are celebrated for their vision, courage, and impact within their businesses and communities.
Janae’s recognition highlights her remarkable growth as a franchise owner. A U.S. Army veteran and the owner of three CertaPro Painters® territories, she has grown her business by more than 600% while creating better opportunities for her employees. Known for her purpose-driven leadership, she’s not only built thriving teams but has also supported charitable causes like breast cancer awareness and student painting projects for special-needs classrooms.
Leading With Purpose
“Success means nothing if you don’t use it to lift others,” Janae shared when reflecting on the honor.
“Every day, I’m proud to represent CertaPro Painters and to show that women and veterans can lead powerfully in this industry.”
At CertaPro Painters®, we are proud to celebrate Janae’s achievement and her commitment to excellence. Her leadership reflects the values that define our brand — integrity, community, and continuous improvement. She is proof that purpose-driven success can transform not only a business but the lives it touches.
The Women of Wonder issue spotlights 50 women each year who are transforming franchising with innovation, mentorship, and service. Published annually during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the program recognizes leaders who turn challenges into opportunities and advocate for others through their success.
We extend our warmest congratulations to Janae and to all the honorees who continue to break barriers and redefine leadership across franchising.
