Alabama-based TERREPOWER, which specializes in providing high-quality components to the automotive and industrial markets, has promoted Dallas-based Brandon Handy to chief people officer, effective immediately.
Duncan Gillis, CEO of TERREPOWER, said Handy “has excelled in driving functional initiatives, ensuring strong governance, and elevating collaboration across both our corporate functions and business units.”
“He has an unwavering commitment to our people‑first culture,” Gillis added in a statement.
Based at TERREPOWER’s Dallas corporate center, Handy joined the company as vice president of Talent Management in 2022, bringing more than 16 years of experience in strategic HR leadership.
Prior to joining TERREPOWER, he was director of global human resources at Owens Corning, where he led HR process standardization, optimized talent initiatives, and developed inclusion and diversity programs. Handy’s background in leadership also includes roles at Trinity Industries, Kohl’s Department Stores, and Pfizer, where he gained valuable experience in HR strategy, safety, and business alignment.
“Brandon’s promotion to chief people officer is well-deserved,” said Gillis. “This appointment reflects our confidence in Brandon’s capacity to foster an inclusive, high-performing workplace in our facilities worldwide. His dedication to serving his internal customers has set a high standard, earning him a reputation for both excellence and reliability.”
