Former CoBank CEO Joins Alaska Power & Telephone
Bob Engel, former Chief Executive Officer at CoBank, has joined the Board of Directors of Alaska Power & Telephone Company, one of Alaska’s leading independently-owned utility companies.
During his tenure at CoBank beginning in 2000, Engel employed his passion for what he considers two of our country’s most underappreciated assets – rural America and higher education. Upon his departure, the member-owned $128 billion cooperative bank continues to thrive under a high-quality team focused on a vital mission and value proposition for its customer/owners and rural communities which he helped foster and grow.
“We could not have asked for a better fit in terms of his financial background, intimate knowledge of the utility industry and his passion for rural America – all of which perfectly align with our mission in serving communities throughout Alaska,” Michael Garrett, Alaska Power & Telephone Company President and CEO, said.
