Timothy Lindahl has been announced as Kenergy’s next President/CEO. Lindahl succeeds Jeff Hohn, who will retire in March after holding the position since 2015.
“I am grateful for the Kenergy board’s leadership in this process and their confidence in me to lead Kenergy forward,” Lindahl said. “I am excited to serve the Kenergy membership, the board, and the co-op team while leading us in providing the most critical services that are core to our modern existence.”
Kenergy Board Chairman Billy Reid said the board is confident in Lindahl’s experience and leadership abilities.
“Tim has more than 28 years of experience in executive management in the agricultural, information technology, and energy industries, and for more than 15 years has worked at rural electric cooperatives,” Reid said. “He also served on the board of directors at a rural electric cooperative for a year. He believes wholeheartedly in this business model and understands the important relationship between a cooperative and its member-owners.”
In addition to his time spent with rural electric cooperatives, Lindahl was a co-founder and led a technology group dedicated to bringing technology and telecommunications to rural areas from 1995-2005.
Lindahl holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration Management from Concordia University, and he completed the National Rural Electric Association’s Management Internship Program at the University of Wisconsin.
Lindahl and his wife Sarah have been married for 28 years. They have four children and are looking forward to joining the communities Kenergy serves.
