Cleveland, Ohio, USA, June, 2024 — Diversified Fall Protection (DFP), the largest turnkey fall protection integrator in the U.S. for regulatory-driven systems and services, has named Kynan Wynne as Chief People Officer. This is the first time an executive has been appointed to this role, reflecting the company’s commitment to supporting its employees and fostering an empowering culture.
“We fondly refer to Kynan as our culture crusader,” said Travis Nelson, CEO of DFP. “We are fortunate to have someone with Kynan’s experience and people skills to fill this role. This is an uncommon position for a company in our industry, but our people are the most important input to our success, and we know we cannot grow without investing in them. The customer experience is a direct reflection of the employee experience.”
Wynne, an industry veteran with nearly 40 years of experience, most recently served as Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for DFP. He joined the organization in late 2021 following DFP’s acquisition of his company, Rooftop Anchor, Inc., which he founded in 2009 and led as CEO before it became a DFP brand.
In his new position, Wynne will be responsible for creating the overall employee experience, guiding career growth, and enhancing the existing employee-oriented culture. He will report directly to the CEO, with the full Human Resources team reporting to him.
“All the business success I’ve enjoyed in my life is a direct result of being surrounded by amazing people,” said Wynne. “When a company is devoted to providing a workplace culture that allows people to grow and thrive, the best version of that person appears. As an employer, it’s our duty to help that along. A Core Value of ours is ‘to take people to higher ground,’ and our goal is to do just that, starting with our own team members.”
Established in 1994, DFP currently employs more than 300 professionals across six U.S. locations, serving all 50 states. The company has experienced exponential growth, quadrupling in size since 2019, driven by four strategic acquisitions between late 2019 and 2021. Since 2021, DFP has achieved a remarkable 30% growth rate.
