Women in Printing -- Female Perspectives

Janet Green, Greens Inc.

Janet Green, CEO of Greens Inc. in Long Beach, CA, is a third-generation printer. Her grand-father started the company in 1908, so she points out that she was born to be a printer. During her teen years, however, Green felt that the theatre stage was her true calling.

"But I would always fill in and work in various departments at my father's printing company," Green reports. "I always thought printing was so uncool, and why couldn't dad own a car dealership instead? After several years of frustration in the theatre and, at the same time, having several nurturing years in printing, I had to admit—ink is in my blood."
