Why a Hudson resident left the corporate world to run a cleaning business
12 Feb 2026
News
After almost three decades in corporate marketing, Hudson resident Christine Erickson found herself at a breaking point. Tired of her work environment, she made the decision to leave her six-figure corporate income behind to become a franchise owner of The Cleaning Authority.
Erickson’s transition from a high-level marketing position at Wells Fargo to managing a local workforce made for a significant mid-career pivot.
"I was so tired of not feeling like I was really making a difference," said Erickson, noting the frustration of original ideas getting diluted through corporate layers.
Erickson’s final push to leave the corporate space came from an email by The Cleaning Authority.
