Rudolf joined Fargo, ND-based Border States in 2003 and has advanced through a series of leadership roles, most recently serving as Information Security Director.

“The impact of Kelly’s leadership extends beyond technology,” Border States Chief Information Officer Jason Stein said in a July 24 news release.

“As VP Information Security, Kelly will continue leading Border States’ efforts to enhance cyber resilience, manage enterprise risk and support the company’s ongoing growth and digital transformation.”

Border States followed those moves in February by promoting Zach Kincaid, a company veteran of more than 12 years, from VP of Distribution to VP of Procurement.
