Generac adds leadership

Generac announced the appointment of Jennifer Anderson as executive vice president of global corporate strategy and development.

“We are excited to have her join the team and are looking forward to leveraging her extensive experience across corporate strategy, business development and sustainability,” said Aaron Jagdfeld, president and CEO of Generac. 

In addition to corporate strategy and development, Anderson will lead the energy firm’s environmental, social and corporate governance efforts.

“I’m looking forward to partnering with the team to bring the next evolution of more resilient, efficient and sustainable energy solutions to markets around the world,” said Anderson.

The new executive vice president joins Generac with more than 20 years of finance, corporate strategy and business development experience.

She most recently served as senior vice president of strategy, development and chief sustainability officer at Carrier Corporation.

Anderson has held leadership positions with Tyson Foods, Johnson Controls, and Eaton Corporation; and she began her career with J.P. Morgan Securities in investment banking, said the company.

“I’m excited to be joining Generac as I believe it’s uniquely positioned to continue its strong growth and leadership in energy technology,” said Anderson.

Anderson succeeded Steve Goran, 34-year company veteran and chief strategy officer, who retired in March.

“Jennifer will be instrumental in leading Generac’s strategic planning process and helping to identify and drive new areas of growth for the company,” said Jagdfeld.
