HOUSTON, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Post Energy Group today announced the appointment of Colonel John McDonough, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.) as President of Red Post Energy, LLC, the company’s independent power subsidiary focused on scalable, dispatchable generation and grid resilience solutions. In this role, McDonough will lead Red Post Energy’s growth strategy, operational execution, and national expansion as the company scales its platform supporting large-scale data centers, AI infrastructure, and industrial customers across the United States.
McDonough brings more than three decades of leadership experience spanning military service and the private sector. He served as a Marine infantry officer for 24 years, commanding from the company, battalion, to special operations task force level. His service includes multiple combat tours, earning the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Stars with Valor, and the Purple Heart Medal.

Red Post Energy, LLC operates at the intersection of midstream fuel supply and downstream power generation—delivering what the company calls “the power behind the data.” As an infrastructure developer and independent power provider, the company designs, builds, and operates natural gas-fired generation assets and resilient microgrid solutions to support the exponential growth of digital infrastructure. The appointment comes as Red Post Energy Group positions for a future initial public offering (IPO) and accelerates deployment of its energy platform across key U.S. markets.
“John is exactly the leader we need at this stage of our growth,” said Lance Medlin, Founder and CEO of Red Post Energy Group. “We brought John McDonough in based on his leadership, deep operational experience in energy, and his ability to execute at scale. As we move from early-stage development into full-scale deployment, his discipline, judgment, and track record of building high-performing organizations will be critical in setting the conditions for a successful IPO.

He brings a mission-first mindset that fits perfectly with who we are and where we’re going.”
