Meet Kirk: NexGen’s Newest Inside Sales Specialist Bringing a Data-Driven Approach to the Power Industry

[July 21st, 2026 | Forest, VA] - NexGen is excited to welcome Kirk Williams to the team as our newest Inside Sales Specialist!

With a background in business, finance, data analysis, and process improvement, Kirk brings a thoughtful and analytical perspective to NexGen's sales team. His experience working with complex data, combined with his interest in people and problem-solving, makes him a natural fit for a role built around keeping customers, Territory Sales Managers, and manufacturer partners connected.

From Business Analytics to the Power Industry

Originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, Kirk earned his undergraduate degree in Business before completing his MBA at Liberty University.

During his final semester of undergrad, he began his professional career as a Data Analyst at Liberty, where he tracked, analyzed, and reported spending across the university. His work involved information tied to approximately $1 billion in annual spending, giving him extensive experience working with financial data and organizational reporting.

That experience shaped the way Kirk approaches his work: understand the information, identify what matters, and look for ways to make the process work better.

In his previous role, he was also working toward automating many of the processes within his position — an experience that sparked his interest in finding smarter, more efficient ways to work.

That same mindset is one Kirk is bringing to NexGen.

Supporting NexGen's Sales Team

As an Inside Sales Specialist, Kirk works closely with NexGen's Territory Sales Managers & Territory Sales Associates to support customers and keep sales opportunities moving.

From coordinating information and following up on requests to helping connect customers with the right resources, Inside Sales plays an important role in NexGen's relationship-first approach.

Kirk is particularly interested in finding ways to improve processes and make his role as efficient and effective as possible. His analytical background gives him a unique perspective on the operational side of sales, while his genuine interest in people keeps the focus where it belongs: serving customers and supporting the team.

Finding Opportunity in the Power Industry

Kirk's interest in the power industry began after seeing a friend enter the field and recognizing the tremendous demand and opportunity within the industry.

That interest brought him to NexGen, where he is excited to be part of a company connecting electric utilities with the equipment, manufacturers, and solutions they need.

For Kirk, the opportunity is about more than a new position. It's a chance to build something meaningful professionally while contributing to an industry that plays an essential role in keeping communities and businesses running.

Beyond the Office

Outside of work, Kirk enjoys spending time with people, cars and trucks, fishing, and strategy games.

His faith is also an important part of his life. Kirk is motivated by pursuing the opportunities God places in front of him and by building a strong future with his wife and family.

And for a fun fact that might surprise you: Kirk flew an airplane for the first time at just 12 years old!

Welcome to the Team, Kirk!

We're excited to have Kirk on the NexGen team and look forward to the perspective he brings to Inside Sales.

His combination of business knowledge, analytical thinking, process-improvement experience, and relationship-focused approach adds another valuable dimension to the NexGen team.

Welcome to NexGen, Kirk!
