When the founders of Great Bay Spas & Sauna approached Jamie Burson in late 2019 about buying the company, he was caught off guard. He’d been with the New England retailer since he was 20, working his way up from the warehouse to sales and management, and had always dreamed of owning the business. But when the opportunity came, it suddenly felt real.
When Jessica Steneri was first recommended for a service coordinator role at Great Bay Spa & Sauna in 2012, she wasn’t entirely sure the hot tub industry was for her. “Honestly, I wasn’t that interested in it,” Steneri says. “But I said, ‘What’s the worst that can happen?’ Here I am, 13 years later.” Since then, Steneri has worn many hats at Great Bay, gaining experience across the business but focusing her energy on sales and leadership roles.
