Tanner Brown

I’m Tanner J. “TJ” Brown, a senior operations executive with a hands-on field background and a strong track record of building scalable systems for service, construction, and project-based organizations. As Chief Operating Officer at Accurate Air Solutions in Abilene, Texas, I help lead multi-branch operations across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical—driving operational consistency, customer outcomes, team development, and sustainable profitability.

Earlier in my career, I spent a decade at American Electric Power, where I worked seven years as a Journeyman Lineman and later served in the Standards & Engineering Best Practices division as a Distribution Standards Field Representative. That combination shaped how I lead today: safety-first, process-driven, and focused on standardizing best practices while still empowering field teams to execute at a high level.

My leadership style centers on clarity, accountability, and continuous improvement—building the metrics, meeting cadence, training, and communication needed to scale. I’m especially interested in operational excellence, leadership development, and leveraging technology to simplify execution in the field.
