A company’s momentum shows up in the field before it appears on a spreadsheet. At AllClear Underground Solutions, Tatyana Schol, chief financial officer, has helped turn a single-location operation into a multi-state platform through strategic acquisitions, operational improvements and service line expansion.
Schol frames the journey in practical steps. AllClear Underground Solutions began in 2022 through the acquisition of Rowland and continued building with a 2024 deal that expanded the geographic footprint and added trenchless rehabilitation solutions. That combination positioned the company as a one-stop provider for underground services that protect communities from costly damage, environmental risk and overflow events. Growth moved in tandem with capability so scale never outpaced service.
Behind the scenes, Schol tightened the foundation for repeatable execution. An enterprise resource planning rollout paired with modern field systems gave leaders clear visibility into accountability, margin management and on-the-ground decisions. Standard operating rhythms linked locations to shared expectations while pilots allowed teams to test, gather feedback and refine before full deployment. Safety remained the baseline as stricter regulations and evolving standards required consistent training across roles and sites.
The future of work blends craft with digital fluency. Schol directs investment in automation that removes friction, scheduling tools that balance capacity and dashboards that surface real-time information. The aim is faster, smarter calls in the field and in the office. Learning tracks focus on regulatory readiness, technology adoption and pathways for advancement so employees can build durable careers in a changing industry. By aligning tools with training and culture, the organization is preparing people to meet tomorrow’s needs and lead through them.
Energy for that agenda comes from motion. A Titan 100 Honoree, Schol finds motivation in small wins that compound, like an improved handoff or a cleaner closeout. Curiosity drives the habit of asking better questions and being present where work happens. She sets pace without losing support so colleagues feel challenged and backed at the same time.
If a single capability could be mastered instantly, Schol would choose radical focus. The discipline to cut through competing demands, set clear priorities and sustain attention would lift execution across projects while reducing burnout. In an environment defined by urgency and interdependence, focus turns plans into results and restores meaning to complex work.
Since earning the Titan 100 recognition, Schol has concentrated on culture that scales with growth. She strengthened structures that develop managers, encouraged continuous improvement and created space for rising leaders to practice responsibility. Service expansion remained tied to stewardship because trust is earned through performance and care in equal measure.
Schol’s five-year view is steady and ambitious as she will continue disciplined expansion, deepen trenchless capabilities and keep building systems that hold schedules and budgets together. By pairing data with judgment and people with opportunity, Schol is ensuring AllClear Underground Solutions advances as a trusted partner to the communities it serves.
