AIR Control Concepts Welcomes 74th Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin to Board of Directors

Jul 22
3 min read

AIR Control Concepts ("AIR") today announced that Governor Glenn Youngkin has joined the company's Board of Directors. Youngkin spent 25 years at The Carlyle Group, including as Chief Operating Officer and, beginning in 2018, Co-Chief Executive Officer, and served as the 74th Governor of Virginia from 2022 to 2026. He joins AIR's board as the platform continues to expand its network of operating companies across North America and Europe.


Headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, AIR is a platform of more than 45+ operating companies and over 3,500 associates supporting HVAC, Mechanical, Electrical, Controls and Service businesses across North America and Europe. The company combines deep local market expertise with the scale and resources of a national organization, and its board plays a central role in guiding that growth as the platform scales.


"Glenn and I have been teammates three times now," said Brad Hobbs, Chief Executive Officer of AIR Control Concepts. "The first was over 40 years ago, when we were kids chasing a state basketball championship together in high school, and I saw then what I still see in him today: someone who shows up, outworks everyone in the room, and makes the people around him better. The second was when I served as his state co-chair during his campaign for Governor and watching him lead Virginia only deepened my respect for how he thinks about building something that lasts. Now we get to do it a third time, together on AIR's board, as AIR moves into its next stage of growth. I couldn't be more excited about what he brings to our team, and I'm grateful to be working alongside my friend again."


Youngkin holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering and a BA in Managerial Studies from Rice University and an MBA from Harvard Business School, where he was a Baker Scholar. As Governor, he served as Virginia's chief economic development officer; during his administration, Virginia was named CNBC's "America's Top State for Business" and reported record job growth and tens of billions of dollars in new capital investment commitments.


"Brad is my oldest friend. He has been a rock for me since high school. He was one of the smartest kids in the class and a star on the court. All of the qualities that make Brad a great friend, also make him a stellar CEO and I couldn’t be prouder to sit on AIR’s board of directors,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin, “AIR has built something rare in this industry: a platform that gives independent operators the resources to grow while keeping what made them successful in the first place like their culture, their people, and the customer relationships they’ve spent decades building. I’m looking forward to working with the board and the leadership team as AIR continues to scale."


AIR will continue to build its platform through national and international growth and investment in its operating companies. Youngkin's appointment marks his first corporate board seat since leaving office, and his addition to AIR's board reflects the company's continued investment in the governance and leadership needed to support that growth.

Many people feel nervous when they want to express romantic feelings, especially when the relationship starts becoming more serious. However, I do not think there is a perfect sentence that works for everyone. Sometimes, saying something like https://victoriyaclub.com/blog/how-to-ask-a-girl-to-be-your-girlfriend-unique-ways-to-do-it-romantically/ really enjoy what we have, and I would love for us to be together officially” feels much more natural than delivering a long speech. It helps to speak in your own words instead of trying to sound like someone from a romantic film. Being open about your intentions can prevent misunderstandings and give the other person a clear idea of what you want. A sincere conversation is a good starting point for any healthy relationship.
