About Glenn Patterson
A Contractor Executive Who Has Created Value at Scale
Glenn Patterson brings more than 45 years of electrical-contracting leadership and advisory experience.
He helped lead the growth of a family-owned electrical contractor from approximately 10 electricians to more than 600 before the company was sold. During that period, service operations expanded from six vans to more than 60, and Oregon Electric Group grew from $16 million to $120 million in annual revenue.
Glenn later held responsibility at Rosendin Electric for a division employing more than 550 people and generating more than $180 million in annual revenue.
Today, Glenn applies that experience to help owner-led electrical and specialty contractors improve profitability, make better-supported decisions, develop accountable managers and build companies that are less dependent on the owner.
Glenn has also served as a Board Member for numerous organizations including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Wired Sun, Axion Power International, and Shopoff Properties Trust. He is also a member of the National Electrical Contractors Association, and Electri International. Glenn’s board member positions include board chair (Wired Sun), audit committee chair (Axion and SPT), and compensation committee chair (Axion).
Glenn received his Bachelor of Science, Magna Cum Laude, in Economics from Willamette University where he was awarded the Wall Street Journal’s Top Economic Graduate Award. He regularly participates in continuing education and professional development courses on topics including project and financial management, smart grids, and energy storage.
His experience includes financial management, service operations, major projects, project management, banking and bonding, Lean improvement, leadership development, acquisitions, ownership transition and clean-energy systems.
Glenn has served as President and CFO of Oregon Electric Group and in senior operational, project and clean-energy roles at Rosendin Electric and Christenson Electric.
