Vantage Point Solutions is proud to announce the addition of Tony Anderson, a proven change-maker and renowned leader in the electric cooperative industry, as Senior Advisor. With a career dedicated exclusively to electric co-ops, Tony brings remarkable experience and a passion for serving rural communities. His leadership will help Vantage Point client cooperatives across the country enhance their operations, improve reliability, and better serve their members.
Tony’s journey in the electric cooperative community spans over three decades, managing co-ops in Wyoming, Wisconsin, and Michigan, including his recent tenure at Cherryland Electric Cooperative in Michigan. For the last two years he has served as President of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), leveraging his dedication to the cooperative model to guide co-ops on a national level. Tony’s lifelong commitment to serving people extends beyond his professional career; he’s been a volunteer fireman, EMT, a marathon runner raising funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and instrumental in the establishment of the Cooperative Family Fund.
“Tony’s deep-rooted understanding of cooperative values and his dedication to community service make him an exceptional addition to our team,” said Larry Thompson, PE, CEO of Vantage Point Solutions. “His insights and leadership will help Vantage Point continue to provide tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of cooperatives, ensuring success in an evolving landscape.”
Tony’s decision to join Vantage Point was driven by a shared commitment to putting cooperatives first. “I’ve encountered Vantage Point employees over the years and admired their ethic and dedication to doing what’s best for the co-ops, not just for the company,” Tony shared. “I am excited by the opportunity to help more cooperatives—to make a broader impact—and to be part of a team that genuinely cares about rural communities.”
Vantage Point’s established track record of innovation, technology leadership, and care for rural communities align perfectly with Tony’s vision of strengthening cooperatives. “Tony’s experience has been helping co-ops across the country for literally decades. Not just those he’s led directly, but the entire Cooperative community has benefited from his influence,” said Kevin Kloehn, VP of Customer Relations at Vantage Point. “Having him on board at Vantage Point will make us better and help us serve co-ops better. His understanding of how co-ops incorporate new technology and optimize their operations is tremendously valuable in shaping how we help them.”
As Vantage Point continues to innovate services to protect, connect, and empower consumer-owned electric utilities, Tony’s leadership will be instrumental in addressing the unique challenges facing the industry while keeping the cooperative spirit at the forefront.
“Co-ops can always get better, we can always be improving, and we’ll always have new questions,” Tony said. “Vantage Point is a partner co-ops can trust. Let’s figure it out.”
