Stan Doobin never planned on a career in cleaning. In the early 1980s he was finishing his MBA, already held his CPA license and was about to get married. Wall Street was the plan.
“I was looking to become an investment banker on Wall Street. That was always my career choice,” Doobin said.
His father saw it differently. After a career running horse racetracks, the elder Doobin was getting ready to retire, and he had a small janitorial business on the side with about 80 employees. He talked his son into joining it.
That was 1984. More than four decades later, Doobin is owner and CEO of Harvard Maintenance, which describes itself as the largest family-owned provider of commercial janitorial services in the United States. He is also the 2026 recipient of the ISSA Jack D. Ramaley Industry Distinguished Service Award.
