Craig Moody, Managing Partner, Verdis Group
Craig Moody is a husband, father, small business owner, community builder, organ donor, and member of the OPPD Board of Directors. His personal mission is to catalyze large-scale, systemic change for the better.
He co-founded Verdis Group, a sustainability consultancy, in 2009. The firm is dedicated to helping large organizations, institutions and cities identify and implement ways to be more sustainable and resilient. The firm has experienced great success the last 15 years with several noteworthy clients, both local and national. Verdis Group earned B Corp certification in 2023, which means the business meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
Elected to the Omaha Public Power District in 2016 and re-elected in 2022, Craig served as the chair of the board in 2020. Over the course of his tenure on the board, he has collaborated with his colleagues and OPPD staff to create a future for the utility that is more sustainable and innovative while keeping electricity affordable. Most notably, OPPD now has a goal to be Net Zero Carbon by 2050, has the largest solar facility in the state, and is a recognized community leader in diversity, equity and inclusion.
Craig believes that public service is about continuous learning, listening to the people one represents, and using that information to inform decisions. He endeavors to ensure voices from across the community are heard and people are engaged, especially those that traditionally have been underrepresented and marginalized.
Craig and his family live in the Dundee neighborhood and spend their time biking, exploring the city’s parks, searching for the city’s best doughnuts, and chatting in the front yard with neighbors. He and his partner Emily are both active on several nonprofit boards in Omaha and are committed to giving back to the community. If he gets a spare hour on a Saturday morning, you will likely find him playing pickup basketball at one of Omaha’s community centers, and if that spare hour were in the evening, he might be at a live music venue. Craig doesn’t splurge often, but when he does it’s usually on something drinkable. His Gallup strengths are Harmony, Arranger, Achiever Relator, and Competition, and he can clap with one hand, a feat that’s proven very valuable in the bleachers at Wrigley Field.
