Kevin Preblud
Chief Operating Officer / Chief Financial Officer
As the COO of EXDO, Kevin brings over thirty years of operational management and financial expertise to the company. He has worked in a variety of industries including recycling, banking, real estate and several service-related companies.
Kevin currently manages the day-to-day operations of EXDO’s real estate and service holdings which includes commercial, industrial, multi-family and retail properties with over 65 properties and in excess of 400 tenants.
After graduating from the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business, Kevin began full-time work as a fourth-generation member of his family’s recycling business where he had worked part-time throughout his teenage years. He was principally involved in the merger that saw the company evolve from a family-operated regional recycler to the largest independent recycling company in the nation with over 600 employees and 25 facilities. Kevin remained with the company as Executive Vice President until 1989.
From there he moved to Los Angeles, California where he became a partner in a secondary fibre brokerage firm which marketed material to paper manufacturers throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Europe and Asia. Additionally, Kevin was also the Executive Director of Recycled Fiber for PaperExchange.com, at the time, the pioneering and leading e-commerce provider for the Paper Industry during the run up of the dot.com craze.
In October of 2005, Kevin’s company expanded its activities to include commercial janitorial and cleaning services. Eventually, Service Solutions transitioned completely out of secondary fibre brokerage, and today employs over 125 people with a strong focus in multi-family properties, with over 7,000 units in its customer portfolio. Service Solutions recently became a part of the EXDO family of companies.
In 2015 Kevin was hired as the COO/CFO for EXDO and is now a full partner.
Kevin currently sits on the board of directors for First American State Bank, a position he has held for over 15 years. Previously, Kevin also served on the boards of Graland Country Day School, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, and We Don’t Waste, the latter two as Chairperson.
Kevin is an enthusiastic world traveler which allows him to see the world through the lens of his camera, which as an amateur photographer, is rarely not by his side.
Kevin was also a pioneer and likely too early to the marketplace, as the founder of the online news site, indenvertimes.com. INDT was an earnest attempt in 2009 to save the core personnel of the Rocky Mountain News which was shutdown by Scripps-Howard. Ultimately INDT didn’t gain the traction needed in the marketplace for support of online news, but as time has proven, the concept was correct, the timing was simply too early, however the silver-lining was a connecting with Andrew Feinstein thru DenverStiffs.com.
Kevin is a fourth generation Denver native and has two grown children, Anna and Joe.
