To the V3 team, clients, and community,
I am pleased to announce that at our July 31 meeting of the Board of Director’s, we named Pat Kennedy as CEO-Elect of V3 Companies! Pat will officially take over the role of President & CEO of V3 on January 1, 2026.
There is a saying that goes, “When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.” Indeed. I firmly believe that change is very healthy for firms like V3, and that the time is right to once again break the pattern, and let new ideas, thoughts, and visions emerge. And there is no one I can think of that is more capable, more committed, and more energized to take our firm to even higher levels of success than Pat.
Pat has spent his entire career at V3. He has been instrumental in the growth and success of the firm through several key roles throughout the years; starting as an intern on a survey crew, rising as a Land Development engineer and leader, leading our Illinois region, and most recently, as Chief Strategy Officer. He is eminently qualified and prepared for his next role as our CEO.
Regardless of his role, Pat’s passion for our people has always shown through, making him a dynamic leader who also understands the ins-and-outs of our industry.
With Pat at the helm, I have complete faith and confidence that V3 will continue to reach new heights and make a positive impact on the world around us.
“The opportunity to lead our firm is a great honor and one for which I am incredibly grateful and excited. This new role will challenge me to learn, grow, and pour my heart and soul into our employees to create meaningful change in our communities.” – Pat Kennedy
