Jeffry M. Householder has been the CEO of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation since January 1, 2019, bringing over 30 years of experience in the energy sector. He began his journey with the company as President of Florida Public Utilities Company in 2010, and has held key positions in several other energy-related companies like TECO Energy and West Florida Gas Company. Under his leadership, Chesapeake Utilities has focused on growth through strategic investments, particularly in regulated operations. One notable moment was when the company expanded by acquiring Florida City Gas in 2023, which played a role in his significant bonus that year. Jeffry holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and is actively engaged in various boards, including the Florida Natural Gas Association and the Edison Electric Institute. Despite his busy role, he doesn’t earn extra for being a director on the company’s board. His total compensation reflects his performance-driven approach, with a 2022 package worth over $3.2 million, mainly tied to achieved performance metrics like earnings growth and shareholder return. Overall, his career has been marked by a commitment to operational performance and long-term growth in the energy landscape.
