Meet Our New CEO, Tim Landrigan
Kosciusko REMC is proud to welcome Tim Landrigan as our new President and CEO. A dedicated leader with deep roots in the cooperative, Tim brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to serving our members.
From Billing Clerk to CEO
Tim’s journey with KREMC began when he was pursuing an accounting degree. Encouraged by a family member, he applied for a Billing Clerk/CSR position for interview practice. However, after his second interview, he accepted the position and continued his education at night school. "The accounting staff at the time did a great job of mentoring me and teaching cooperative accounting," Tim recalls.
From starting as a billing clerk/CSR, he progressed through roles as an accountant, manager of accounting and finance, and eventually chief financial officer before stepping into the role of CEO. Landrigan’s aspirations grew the longer he worked for the company and the more experience he gained. “Over the years, my aspirations evolved as I took on more responsibilities and leadership roles, ultimately leading to my current position as CEO,” he explained. His journey through the company in all of these various roles is ultimately what prepared him for this current position. “Each role provided valuable experiences and opportunities for growth,” he says.
The Unique Cooperative Experience
One of the most rewarding aspects of working at KREMC, according to Tim, is the direct connection to the members. "Working in a cooperative like KREMC offers a unique and rewarding experience. One of the most fulfilling aspects is the direct connection to the members who own the cooperative. Knowing that the electricity we provide directly benefits our community members establishes a strong sense of purpose and responsibility,” he says.
Notable Achievements
Among his proudest accomplishments is being part of the team that brought Kosciusko Connect broadband to KREMC members, a significant step in expanding services and enhancing connectivity in the community. “Leading KREMC to continue to have a strong financial position and work with others on economic growth for Kosciusko Connect has been very rewarding,” he explained.
Vision for The Future
His leadership principles—mutual respect, integrity, honesty, communication, accountability, and mentorship—have shaped his approach to guiding teams and fostering professional growth among employees. "I believe in setting clear expectations and holding myself and others accountable," he shares. "Mentorship is also very important to me, as I had great mentors when I started, and I want to pass that on to the next generation."
As he takes on the role of CEO, Tim’s vision for the cooperative is clear: "My goal is to continue providing safe, reliable, and affordable power to our members," he states. " I also want to provide quality broadband services to our members and investigate opportunities outside our electric footprint to serve broadband.”
Family and Community
Beyond his professional life, Tim enjoys spending time with his family and being outdoors. "My wife and I have three children, and we live on Kosciusko REMC lines, so I understand firsthand the importance of the services we provide," he says. "It’s a great privilege to lead this organization and continue its tradition of service to the community."
As we welcome Tim Landrigan into his new leadership role, we look forward to his vision, experience, and dedication guiding Kosciusko REMC into a bright and promising future.
