Kelly Butz is the CEO of Maxima Power Group. He has been with Magna IV Engineering since 2004, serving in progressive roles that led to his appointment as CEO in 2016.

In his formative years, Kelly accumulated invaluable experience through engineering studies, design work, and hands-on involvement in large-scale commissioning and maintenance turnaround projects. His journey traversed diverse roles, from project management to sales, where he held titles such as supervisor, branch manager, department manager, and multi-regional Vice President. However, the pinnacle of his achievements is his tenure as CEO of Magna IV Engineering.

Under Kelly's leadership, the Magna IV Engineering team experienced remarkable growth, with annual sales growing from $10M to a peak of $47M. Moreover, he spearheaded the expansion of the company from a single office to an impressive network of 15 offices. This period marked a significant chapter in Kelly's career, showcasing his exceptional leadership and strategic vision. His subsequent elevation to CEO of Maxima Power Group, overseeing Magna IV Engineering and Power Solutions Group LLC., further underscores his continued success and leadership development within the organization.
