Total PowerGen Solutions Welcomes Chris Hillman as New CEO

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Total PowerGen Solutions (“TPGS”) announced today the appointment of Chris Hillman as Chief Executive Officer as part of a planned succession of Andy Rudderham, CEO of TPGS for nearly 26 years.

Hillman is a seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience developing, transforming, and leading both mid-market and global product and services businesses across the industrial, medical, consumer, technology, and entertainment industries.

Prior to joining TPGS, Hillman served as Chief Operating Officer at Marsden Services from 2023 to 2025, one of the largest privately held building services providers in the United States. In this role, he led a team of over 10,000 associates across 48 states, delivering integrated facility solutions including janitorial, security, HVAC, and mechanical services to more than 5,000 customers. During his tenure, Hillman played a key role in driving Marsden’s top-line growth, executing seven strategic acquisitions and developing a comprehensive integration playbook that strengthened operational efficiency and scalability across the organization. He holds a B.A. in Business from DePaul University and an A.A.S. in Electronics Engineering Technology from Joliet Junior College.

“I look forward to working with our investment partners at Audax Private Equity and the entire TPGS team to continue advancing what I consider a tremendous growth opportunity in front of the company,” added Chris Hillman. “TPGS has a reputation for quality and service, and as we execute our organic and M&A growth strategy, we believe our investments in the business should only help to position TPGS as a first choice for clients’ ‘continuous power’ needs.”

Rudderham will remain with TPGS as Chairman of the Board and in this capacity will continue to serve as a strategic advisor. “We’re incredibly excited to welcome Chris to the team, and believe he brings a compelling combination of experience in industrial services, operational excellence, and leadership, particularly at fast-growing organizations,” noted Rudderham.

TPGS is backed by Audax Private Equity, who invested in the company in September 2024.
