Allison Pendroy has been selected as WesleyLife’s next president and CEO, effective June 1, the organization announced Tuesday. She will succeed Rob Kretzinger, who announced in December his plans to retire after nearly 30 years with WesleyLife. Kretzinger will continue serving as president and CEO until June, when he will transition into a senior adviser role. Pendroy joined WesleyLife in July 2023 as chief operating officer and brings 20 years of experience in senior living, including operational leadership and financial stewardship roles. Pendroy also served on the National Investment Center Future Leaders Council from 2015 to 2018, contributing to national discussions on industry trends, data transparency and innovation. “Selecting the next president and CEO of WesleyLife is one of the board’s most important responsibilities, and this decision reflects years of thoughtful succession planning,” Chad Rasmussen, chair of the WesleyLife board of directors, said in a prepared statement. “Since joining WesleyLife in 2023, Allison has consistently demonstrated the character, operational leadership, financial strength and mission alignment that define effective stewardship.” The board will begin searching immediately for the organization’s next chief operating officer.
