Barbara Res Biography

Barbara Anne Res is widely recognized as "The Woman Who Built Trump Tower," a testament to her significant role within the Trump Organization where she served as the Executive Vice President for the development. With a career spanning over 40 years in construction and real estate development, Res has established herself as a trailblazer in the engineering field, particularly as a woman in a male-dominated industry. She managed the construction of Trump Tower in New York City and has faced and addressed numerous challenges including sexual harassment and discrimination during her tenure.

Res is not only a seasoned engineer and construction manager but also an accomplished attorney, mediator, and author. Her memoir, "All Alone on the 68th Floor: How One Woman Changed the Face of Construction," delves into her experiences and the significant impact she has had on the construction industry. In addition to her book, Res has contributed numerous op-ed pieces exploring topics such as women in construction, feminism, and her professional experiences. As a keynote speaker, she frequently addresses issues of sexual harassment in the workplace, sharing her expertise at various national and international forums including the Women in Construction Conference in Newport Beach, CA.

An alumnus of CCNY Engineering and Rutgers Law School, Res has further enriched her expertise by lecturing at institutions like NYU School of Continuing Education and the New School. Her contributions to the field have earned her notable accolades such as the Townsend Harris Medal from CCNY and the Emily Roebling Warren Leadership Award from Professional Women in Construction. Res resides in Tenafly, NJ, and continues to inspire professionals across industries with her resilience and dedication to fostering a more inclusive work environment.

Barbara Res' speeches are inspirational and often bring tears to the audience member's eyes. She helps women deal with and overcome the myriad of obstacles with confidence and courage. She teaches women how to protect themselves in the face of the big three, discrimination, harassment and intimidation.

    This topic is also for companies who want to incorporate more women into their businesses and more important make them stay. Res provides statistics showing that including women increases morale and adds to the bottom line. She does this by providing legitimate statistics from government sources and examples of the experiences of women today. Most importantly, Res describes her personal encounters with the "big three" and how that impacted my life harmfully. She lets women learn from my experiences and others.

    This topic is relevant to any women encountering obstacles, in general. Res also provides shocking statistics demonstrating the women in construction are approximately at the same level of participation (3-5%) as they were 50 years ago, and professionals are still less than 20%.

  • Dispute Resolution, Negotiation, Mediation, Arbitration & Litigation

Having served for over 20 years as an arbitrator, Res advises on the differences between arbitrators and judges and juries and how very different presentations must be.

  • The President of the United States: How He Became The Man He is Today

    Barbara Res worked for Trump on and off for about 18 years, she watched the evolution and can explain when and how the changes came about. Trump started as a brash kid of a millionaire developer with no real development experience and no construction experience at all to the man many people believe is a master builder and brilliant negotiator. Res watched how his approaches morphed as he gained power.

    Res has appeared on over 100 TV interviews and documentaries. Res is the author of "Tower of Lies, What My 18 Years of Working with Donald Trump Reveals about Him." Res is one of very few authors of Trump books who had direct experience with him, when he was totally accessible. Res has been told by authors, journalists and TV interviewers how her book is one of the most important Trump books, especially now. This topic lends itself best to a short lecture with a lengthy question and answer period or an interview.
