BluSky Restoration Adds Maria Surgnier To Leadership Team as Portland Office Vice President

USAF Veteran Maria Surgnier Joins BluSky as Portland VP

BluSky Vice President Maria Surgnier of Portland, OR
March 18, 2025

BluSky Restoration Contractors, LLC, a leading national property restoration company in the U.S., announced the hiring of Maria Surgnier as vice president of the Portland, OR office.  In her new role, Maria will be responsible for managing BluSky’s Portland office operations including business development, customer relationships, project management, and administration.

As vice president, her primary objective is to aid in the cultivation of growth for the office by leveraging the BluSky brand to develop relationships with industry professionals resulting in new business opportunities.

Maria is a USAF veteran with a master’s degree in management and a successful entrepreneur of two separate businesses. Her extensive career spans senior-level roles in sales, HR, and operations, culminating in her recent position as general manager at restoration company in Vancouver, Washington. She grew up in the Midwest, and after living in Japan for four years, the military relocated the family back to the Midwest.  In 2021, she moved to the Pacific Northwest with her husband and has three adult sons. Maria’s passion for travel led her to her current home, attracted by the region’s mountains, forests, coastline, and wineries.

“I am honored to join BluSky and excited to lead the Oregon market in achieving growth that reflects our service commitments.  BluSky’s growth-minded focus and dedication to customer experience, safety and operational excellence truly sets us apart, and I am proud and excited to contribute to the team’s success and future growth,” remarked Maria on her new position.

“We are so fortunate we have Maria to lead our Portland team.  Her impressive background and leadership skills are what we need to serve our valued customers in the Portland market,” said Todd Smith, regional vice president with BluSky.
