Paoli, Indiana-based ElectriCom LLC, a utility construction contractor focused on rural markets with operations in twenty-five (25) states, is six months into its significant senior leadership transition.
Effective in February 2022, Kevin Mason, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who had served in the position since 1995, transitioned to ElectriCom’s Executive Chair while continuing to serve as a key strategic leader for ElectriCom’s parent company and its subsidiaries. Mason had been with ElectriCom for over twenty-nine (29) years and has been an active member of the ownership team since 1995.
ElectriCom simultaneously announced the promotion of Rajive “Raj” Beri to CEO & President; Beri joined ElectriCom in February 2021 as President and a member of the Executive Board.
ElectriCom is a contract provider of services to utilities primarily located in rural markets. The company covers activities related to right-of-way clearing, as well as installation of new facilities for telecommunications, electric, and gas utilities. It has 800 employees and operates in Midwestern, Southern, and Western regions. The company was founded in 1960.
“Over the last year, Raj has been integral in ElectriCom’s efforts to bolster system capabilities while growing our operational services,” said Mason at the time of the transition. “Raj brought a significant amount of expertise to ElectriCom with his prior success in growing companies organically and through strategic acquisitions.”
“The company’s established success, impressive growth, and excellent market position are several of the many reasons I joined as President last year. A number of our existing and future utility customers are currently executing on, or in the planning stages of, significant expansions to their broadband networks. I am excited to continue to align ElectriCom’s business to support their objectives of ‘bridging the digital divide’ in our rural communities,” Beri said in closing.
