As the lead for Primera’s Power Distribution group, Dennis Odegaard maximizes his team’s talents through his collaborative leadership style. “He spent years working in the customer relations side for utilities, if he learned anything it’s that truly listening to people is key to having a successful relationship. He take that with the wherever he go, and he value the ideas and opinions of those around him, including the team,” he explains. Dennis’ success stems from nearly 20 years of electric utility experience specializing in customer relations, project management, and distribution design and operations.
