CODY — Forward Cody has selected a new leader to replace longtime CEO/president James Klessens.

His replacement, Jake Hogan, brings over 20 years of experience spanning business development, sales, marketing, strategic planning and entrepreneurship, according to the release.

“Our search for a leader who embodies resilience, integrity, and vision led us to Jake Hogan,” said Bruce Sauers, chairman of Forward Cody. “Jake’s unique blend of experience, from his entrepreneurial endeavors to his military service as a Marine veteran and beyond, positions him to lead Forward Cody into an exciting new chapter of growth and innovation.” 

Hogan served in the Marine Corps, worked in the oilfield, farming and ranching, as well as in local media as the general manager of the Big Horn Basin Radio Network. He is currently on the board of the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Hogan is committed to health, fitness, and personal development and enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, shooting, hunting and fly tying.
