We are thrilled to announce that Chris Ehlers, President of Veridian Homes, has once again been honored among In Business Madison’s Power 100. This honor highlights the leaders making a true difference in our community.
The Power 100 list highlights the people who are making significant positive contributions to our region—leaders whose work reaches beyond their own organizations and whose influence helps build stronger, more vibrant communities.
Since joining Veridian Homes in 2018 as Vice President of Land Acquisition & Development, Chris has brought an unwavering dedication to excellence and growth. Under his leadership, Veridian has continued to move forward—both in the homes we build and the neighborhoods we shape.
In 2021, Chris stepped into the role of Chief Operating Officer, guiding operations with care, quality, and integrity. Then, in November 2023, Chris became President of Veridian Homes. It’s been a journey marked by hard work, strategic vision, and a deep love for seeing communities thrive.
Chris doesn’t just oversee home construction—he guides the creation of neighborhoods. His approach reflects a belief that homes are part of larger ecosystems: schools, parks, roads, safety, relationships. Every decision he makes is in service of environments where people can truly thrive.
We couldn’t be more grateful to have Chris at the helm. Congratulations, Chris—this recognition is well deserved. We’re excited to continue working alongside you, learning from you, and building together. As Veridian Homes moves forward, we’re more committed than ever to growing with integrity, care, and purpose.
Here’s to continuing to build houses, neighborhoods, and communities where people feel proud to call home.
