NexGen Utility Sales Welcomes Renae Snyder as Account Manager

[Forest, VA] March 23, 2026

NexGen Utility Sales is proud to welcome Renae Snyder as an Account Manager supporting electric utilities, manufacturers, and industry partners.

Originally from Roanoke, Renae brings deep regional roots and a strong understanding of the Mid-Atlantic utility landscape. After spending 14 years in Lynchburg, she recently returned to Roanoke to be closer to family - continuing her connection to the communities and customers NexGen serves every day.

Renae was drawn to the transformer industry because of its critical role in supporting reliable power infrastructure. As demand for grid resiliency, modernization, and energy reliability continues to grow across Virginia, the Southeast, and the broader U.S. utility market, her work directly supports the systems that keep communities powered.

Experience Supporting Utilities, Manufacturing, and Infrastructure Projects

Renae’s career is built on project leadership, customer partnership, and operational excellence across the utility, manufacturing, and financial services industries. Her hands-on experience within transformer manufacturing and cooling systems gives her a practical, inside-out understanding of how equipment is built, deployed, and maintained in real-world utility environments.

This background allows her to:

• Navigate complex utility projects with confidence

• Align solutions with customer needs and operational goals

• Deliver a seamless experience from initial engagement through execution

  
  

Strengthening Customer Relationships Across the Utility Industry

In her role at NexGen Utility Sales, Renae will manage key accounts, support utility customers, and build long-term partnerships with manufacturers and industry stakeholders.

She is especially excited to:

• Strengthen existing customer relationships

• Develop new connections across the utility and energy sectors

• Support solutions that improve reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance

Renae’s approach is simple but powerful - every project she touches reflects her commitment to excellence. She believes that strong partnerships are built on trust, responsiveness, and consistently delivering results. For her, success is defined by positive customer feedback and lasting relationships.

Life Outside of the Utility Industry

Outside of work, Renae enjoys karaoke, exploring wineries and vineyards across Virginia, and traveling to new places. She is also deeply involved in her children’s activities, which remain one of her biggest passions.

Her story also includes a powerful personal mission. Her son is a Heart Hero, born with congenital heart defects, and their family actively serves as ambassadors for the American Heart Association through the Kids Heart Challenge - helping raise awareness and support for heart health.

Renae and her daughter also share a unique passion for pageantry. Inspired by her daughter, Renae began competing herself and was recently crowned Outstanding Miss/Ms. Virginia, earning a perfect score in talent. Together, they now participate in scholarship-style pageants at the local, state, and national levels.

At NexGen Utility Sales, we’re committed to building a team that reflects the evolving needs of the utility industry - combining technical expertise, relationship-driven service, and regional knowledge to better support our customers.

Please join us in welcoming Renae to the NexGen team!
