Valerie Niver: A Trailblazing Leader in Equipment Rentals and Workforce Empowerment
Influential Women proudly recognizes Valerie Niver as one of its distinguished honorees for 2025. As Branch Manager at Texas First Rentals Pflugerville, Valerie has built a reputation for operational excellence, strong leadership, and empowering those around her in the equipment rental industry.
Originally from a small town near Buffalo, New York, Valerie credits her strong work ethic and determination—influenced by her upbringing and even her love for the Buffalo Bills—for shaping her professional journey. After earning an Associate’s Degree in Communications from Erie Community College, she began her career with AT&T, quickly becoming one of the top-performing sales consultants in her district and maintaining a consistent top-five ranking for over five years.
Following roles at Upshur Rural Electric and Verizon, Valerie transitioned into the equipment rental sector with Texas First Rentals. She has advanced through positions from Service Writer to Operations Manager, and now Branch Manager, demonstrating a talent for revitalizing underperforming branches and cultivating cohesive, high-functioning teams. Under her leadership, her branch has earned two Branch of the Quarter awards, reflecting her commitment to operational success and team development.
Valerie’s leadership style emphasizes transparency, honesty, and continuous improvement, fostering an environment where employees feel valued and supported. She is particularly passionate about mentoring women in a traditionally male-dominated field, encouraging them to ask questions, stay curious, and embrace confidence as essential tools for growth and advancement.
Reflecting on her career, Valerie highlights the advice that has guided her: “Don’t get so caught up in what should happen—stay flexible, stay present, and focus on what is happening so you can adapt and grow.” This philosophy underscores her approach to overcoming challenges, leading teams, and breaking barriers in the equipment rental industry.
Valerie continues to view her position as both a responsibility and an opportunity. By demonstrating what strong, inclusive leadership looks like in a male-dominated space, she not only drives business results but also creates a pathway for greater representation and empowerment of women. Her dedication to mentorship and excellence cements her status as a transformative leader, inspiring those around her to achieve their full potential.
