Leadership Team
Abby Reinhard
President and CEO

I’m grateful to lead an extraordinary team at GP Flooring Solutions, a leading flooring company in New York, that is dedicated to learning, growing, and improving every day. It’s critical that we have the right people, culture, and processes in place to have a happy and thriving team. Being named one of the top 100 Companies to Work for in NY in 2024 is a testament to our strong team culture. Then we’re equipped to win the trust of our customers with exceptional customer service and skilled execution of flooring installations.
I manage the five members of our leadership team with a focus on continual improvement in our flooring business. I also enjoy meeting with everyone on our team individually and collectively to continually gain insight, remove obstacles and seize new opportunities to be our best in the flooring industry. Overseeing our work, I develop key relationships, drive our sales and marketing efforts for commercial flooring, handle HR and legal, develop strategic initiatives, and implement business best practices for operations and management. I’ve been featured in Floor Focus magazine, Talk Floors, and Floor Covering Weekly, all reputable publications in the flooring industry.
With professional experience ranging from marketing communications to sales, I achieved the dream of owning a small business in January 2015 when I purchased GP Land & Carpet. Now rebranded as GP Flooring Solutions, our team is an extension of my family. I enjoy serving on the boards of Rochester Area Community Foundation, Innova Girls Academy, Fuse Commercial Flooring Alliance, the Builders Exchange of Rochester, and ITX Corporation.
In 2017, I became a proud graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. I am also honored to have received the 2019 Enterprising Women of the Year award, recognition as Business Person of the Year in 2018 by the Small Business Council of Rochester, to have been identified as one of the top ten “Emerging Leaders” in our industry in 2018 by Floor Focus magazine, and to have been named 40 under 40 in 2016 by Rochester Business Journal. I’m also honored to receive the 2020 Loretta Simmons Woman’s Leadership Award from the Gates Chili Chamber of Commerce and the 2019 Enterprising Woman Award by Enterprising Woman Magazine.
I’m most proud, however, to be named “mom” by Caroline, Leo, and Amelie Reinhard. When I’m not busy overseeing flooring installations or exploring new flooring materials, I love spending time with my family.

I enjoy managing some of our largest projects, overseeing our work with general contractors, and serving as a helpful resource to all of our project managers. The first 15 years of my career were in construction management, first at Shawmut Design and Construction, where I led teams across the country, including an expansive Las Vegas operation overseeing nearly $100 million in projects along the Strip. I then moved to NY to be near family and led teams for LeChase Construction on the $150 million URMC Golisano Children’s Hospital, as well as the LEED Platinum Golisano Institute for Sustainability at RIT. I received a BS in civil engineering and certificates in construction management and business from the University of Wisconsin (GO BADGERS!) as well as an MBA at Boston College with a focus on strategic operations. I enjoy spending time with my wife and three children, especially in the Finger Lakes – I love any chance to be on the water. Originally from Green Bay, WI, I’m a huge Packers fan.

With over 28 years of experience in the commercial flooring industry, I lead our NYC team and jointly manage our overall vendor partner relations and sales strategy. It is a pleasure to work with so many great people here at GP! My downtime is often spent with family, a good book, getting a quick workout in, or having a great meal.

I’m happy to be a part of the GP Flooring team, doing what I can to improve our operations. My background is as a project superintendent for large general contractors — first with Holder Construction Company and then with LeChase Construction Services. At GP, I enjoy working to improve execution on our job sites, with a focus on safety, quality, and schedule. I studied Construction Management at Colorado State University and hold several industry certifications, including OSHA (30-hour training), evacuation safety; arc flash safety/code compliance; confined space; and first aid/CPR/ AED. When I’m not working I enjoy keeping up with my kids!

With more than 30 years of experience in public accounting, I am happy to share my experience with the GP Flooring team. I enjoy working with internal and external team members to facilitate successful outcomes. I graduated from Villanova University with a B.S. in Accounting and am a Certified Public Accountant in New York State. I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters whether at home or on vacations. I am an avid fan of Pirates, Penguins and Steelers and also enjoy golfing and going to concerts.
Linda Nauerth
Administrative Manager

My industry experience began in 1991 when I started out handling the NYS carpet contract sales. In that time, the role here has evolved from handling materials to administrative management and keeping our office running like a well-oiled machine. I’ve been married for 40+ years, and we have two sons and a grandson. Faith and family are the most important to me, followed by GP’s core value #5 – have fun and enjoy life!

I joined GP Flooring Solutions after spending 15 years in sales management with Enterprise Holdings. I am passionate about my client relationships and understanding their flooring needs. At GP Flooring Solutions, we are uniquely staffed with highly professional and well-trained sales associates that respond quickly with outstanding customer service, and I am proud to be a part of this team. I received my degree in Business Management at SUNY Geneseo and now live and work in Grand Island, NY. My wife and I have two beautiful daughters and we love to travel and create new family memories. I am also a long-suffering and optimistic Bills and Sabres fan. If they are playing, you will find me either at the game or watching it on TV.
