SOLV Energy Strengthens Leadership with Helena Kimball's Appointment as Chief Revenue Officer
SAN DIEGO, January 9, 2026 — SOLV Energy has announced the recent appointment of Helena Kimball as its Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), marking a significant step forward for the company. This newly established role is aimed especially at enhancing customer relationship management, an area critical for driving business growth in today's competitive market.
Helena Kimball is no stranger to the company; she has been an integral part of SOLV Energy since 2024, when she joined as Senior Vice President of Business Development. During her tenure, she has played a pivotal role in shifting the company's approach towards business development, leading initiatives designed to elevate customer engagement and expand the reach of SOLV Energy's vast array of infrastructure services. Her leadership has been instrumental in refining the company’s commercial strategy, which aligns perfectly with the overarching goal of ensuring client satisfaction and long-term growth.
George Hershman, the CEO of SOLV Energy, expressed his support for Kimball's new role, stating, "Helena has helped sharpen our commercial focus at a critical moment for the industry. Her proven sales leadership, market insight, and customer-driven approach have bolstered SOLV Energy's relationships with key clients and supported our continuous revenue growth."
As CRO, Kimball will be responsible for overseeing the business development team and ensuring that there is a cohesive strategy that links the company's commercial goals with customer engagement efforts. This alignment is expected to foster stronger partnerships and lead to enhanced service delivery that resonates with SOLV Energy's commitment to providing solutions that meet the complex challenges faced by clients in the energy sector.
The year 2026 is already looking promising for SOLV Energy, with the company reporting consistent revenue growth over previous years. The firm has secured its position as a frontrunner in the utility-scale solar market, owing in large part to strong relationships with prominent renewable energy developers and independent power producers (IPPs) across the nation. Building these relationships on trust and reliable performance has been a strategic focal point for SOLV Energy, and Kimball's leadership is expected to elevate this focus even further.
In her own words, Kimball expressed enthusiasm for her expanded role, saying, "I'm honored to take on an expanded position at such a pivotal time for SOLV Energy and our customers. I'm looking forward to building on our strong momentum, deepening customer partnerships, and ensuring our teams remain focused on delivering value for our customers at every stage of the project lifecycle."
