Juliet Tenaglia, CEO
A graduate of Jacksonville University in Florida, Juliet Tenaglia (née Pocali) started her professional corporate career in the mortgage industry eventually transitioning into medial device sales. Passionate about entering the world of entrepreneurship, Juliet left the corporate industry of medical sales to fulfill her aspiration of becoming a successful business owner. With her collective knowledge, experience and drive, she knew she could apply those skills to her own venture.
Starting Bella Cleaning on her own, she worked tirelessly to build it into the flourishing, reputable business it is today. As any entrepreneur will tell you – there is no time off! Juliet thrives on building client-relationships, striving to provide superior customer service and truly caring about the happiness of her clients and employees.
Over fourteen years later, Juliet operates one of the most successful cleaning companies on Long Island. From residential to commercial cleaning, to large-scale clean-outs, Juliet is capturing the cleaning market and challenging stereotypes as she progresses. It’s no surprise many of her friends around the country ask when she will expand Bella to their city!
