Company in Taylor, MI. Atlas Oil Company is one of the largest

“We are delighted to have Bob join REG. His extensive background
in fuels marketing and downstream sales is a natural fit with our
downstream growth plans,” said REG President & CEO Cynthia ‘CJ’
Warner. “Bob will lead our sales & marketing functions at an
exciting time for REG as we grow our global footprint and customer
base.”
As a member of the senior management team, Kenyon will lead the
teams that oversee the sales, marketing and customer care for REG’s
high quality products including biodiesel, renewable diesel, REG
Ultra Clean® and blended fuels.
“I'm honored to be joining a team of dedicated professionals
bringing clean energy solutions to the world,” said Kenyon. “REG is
well positioned to lead the adoption of biofuels globally and I'm
excited to lead our Fuel Forward sales and marketing strategy to
partner with customers and drive sustainability initiatives.”

After 20 years of dedication and advocacy for REG and the
biodiesel industry, current Vice President, Sales & Marketing
Gary Haer has decided to retire. Following a thorough handover and
management of change process with Kenyon, Haer intends to retire
from REG at the end of March 2021. Haer is truly one of the first
pioneers of the industry and served as Chairman of the National
Biodiesel Board during critical points for the industry.
“As one of the very first employees of REG, Gary has been
instrumental in the growth of the company and the biodiesel
industry at large,” said Warner. “Gary grew the sales organization
from a single individual selling fuel to farmers, to leading a
global team selling a half a billion gallons annually. Gary has
inspired so very many people across the span of his career, has
truly made a positive difference, and will always be considered a
valued member of our team.”
