Greenix Pest Control, a pest management company based in Orem and operating in more than a dozen states, has announced the appointment of Nate Randle as CEO.
Randle succeeds Bob Nilsen, who will transition to the company’s board of directors after more than a decade of leading the company.
“During his tenure, Nilsen guided Greenix through a period of significant expansion and cultural development, helping the company become one of the fastest-growing pest control providers in the nation,” the Greenix board said in announcing the change. “His leadership established Greenix as an organization rooted in purpose, driven by values and powered by people committed to making a difference.”
Randle joins Greenix as an executive with a record of scaling organizations and building brands. Most recently, he served as CEO of Gabb, a company that creates safe technology for kids. His career includes leadership roles at Nike, Callaway Golf, Vivint and the
Utah Jazz.
“I’m honored to join Greenix and advance its mission to protect families, homes and the environment,” said Randle. “The culture Bob and the team have built — centered on integrity, service and teamwork — is extraordinary. Together, we will build on Greenix’s strong foundation and guide the company into its next phase of growth, keeping our customers at the center of everything we do.”
“Leading Greenix has been one of the greatest honors of my career,” said Nilsen. “Together, we’ve built something truly special, a company that thrives because of its people and its commitment to doing good. I’m thrilled to welcome Nate Randle as our next CEO. His people-first leadership, proven ability to build strong brands, and alignment with our values make him the right person to lead Greenix into its next chapter.”
