Fahrenheit Advisors announces new COO

Richmond-based consulting firm Fahrenheit Advisors has added Kris Cravey to its executive ranks.

Cravey, formerly chief people officer at Virginia Beach-based DroneUp, will be chief operating officer at Fahrenheit Advisors, the company announced Tuesday.

In his new role, he will take primary responsibility for overseeing the execution of Fahrenheit Advisors’ strategy, growth and client services delivery.

”Kris is another incredible addition to our team as we continue to grow as a firm,” Rich Reinecke, co-managing partner and co-founder at Fahrenheit Advisors, said in a statement. “His track record of building scale while maintaining the culture mirrors our values and core principles. We are excited to welcome Kris to our team and look forward to the impact he will have as we expand nationally.”

Cravey has held leadership roles including vice president of strategy and mergers and acquisitions, business development, operations and support services at Day & Zimmermann, an engineering, staffing and construction firm. He was also managing partner at Atherton Kirk Advisors (now Fahrenheit Advisors), according to his LinkedIn profile.

He started with Fahrenheit Advisors about a year ago as a consultant after serving as DroneUp’s CPO since July 2021.

Cravey earned his doctorate degree in organizational behavior and an MBA from Regent University.

Fahrenheit Advisors was founded in 2010 and consults for middle-market, Fortune 1000, nonprofit and governmental organizations. It has 140 consultants.
