EverLine Names Infrastructure Veteran Ed Wiegele Chief Executive Officer to Accelerate Growth Across Critical Infrastructure Markets

Former Williams Power Development Leader and Integri-Tek founder/CEO to lead continued expansion across midstream, utility, renewable energy, and data center markets

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EverLine, a leading provider of integrated technical services for critical infrastructure, today announced the appointment of Ed Wiegele, an infrastructure industry veteran, as chief executive officer. A proven builder and operator of technology-enabled infrastructure businesses, Wiegele will lead EverLine as operators across North America modernize infrastructure to meet rising reliability, physical security, cybersecurity, and energy-demand requirements.

The appointment comes as pipeline and midstream operators, electric utilities, renewable energy developers, maritime, and data center owners accelerate infrastructure investments amid rapidly evolving regulatory requirements, rising power demand, growing operational complexity, and heightened security expectations.

Over the past several years, EverLine has expanded its integrated platform across midstream, electric utility, renewable energy, and emerging data center markets while growing its customer base to serve more than 300 critical infrastructure owners and operators nationwide. In 2025 alone, the company completed more than 16,000 PHMSA-related compliance inspections across more than 7,000 miles of regulated infrastructure.

The company further expanded its capabilities over the past year through transmission operator activities, with generation and NERC compliance operations spanning five of the six U.S. reliability regions and supporting 15,334 MW of generation and transmission assets under active oversight. Through its 24/7 cybersecurity and resiliency operations, EverLine processed millions of security events across thousands of nodes, eliminating an estimated 8,760 internal staffing hours annually per customer architecture.

Wiegele brings four decades of leadership experience across energy infrastructure, operational technology, and technology-enabled services. Most recently, he led Project Development for New Energy Ventures at The Williams Companies (NYSE: WMB), advancing behind-the-meter power generation solutions to support the rapidly growing energy demands of hyperscale data centers.

Prior to Williams, Wiegele founded and served as chief executive officer of Integri-Tek, a leading provider of geospatial consulting, business intelligence, and data management solutions for infrastructure owners and operators. He led the company from inception through its successful acquisition by Magnolia River. Earlier in his career, he held senior and executive leadership roles at TRC Companies, Willbros, GE, MJ Harden Associates, and Panhandle Eastern/Trunkline Gas Company, supporting some of North America's largest energy infrastructure systems.

"Critical infrastructure has become one of the defining operational challenges of our time, and operators across the energy sector are under constant pressure to adapt to changing regulations, defend against evolving cyber threats, maintain reliability, and support unprecedented growth in demand," said Ed Wiegele. "There is little margin for error. Systems must be secure, resilient, and ready to withstand scrutiny at any moment. EverLine occupies a unique position at the intersection of compliance, operations, and cybersecurity, helping customers manage increasingly complex systems with greater confidence, resilience, and operational certainty. I see tremendous opportunity to build on this foundation and help shape the future of critical infrastructure operations."

Wiegele holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Iowa State University.
