30 Stories for 30 Years: Growth Has No Limit – The Gaedeke Energy Story
For 30 years, Gaedeke Group has built more than remarkable properties; we’ve built possibility. That same vision for growth and innovation fuels Gaedeke Energy, where bold ideas and deep expertise come together to shape the future of responsible energy.
As a private family office, Gaedeke Energy combines agility with strength. Free from corporate red tape, the team moves quickly to identify opportunities, execute with precision, and invest for the long term. Backed by significant resources and guided by thoughtful strategy, the company approaches each venture with purpose and confidence, a hallmark of the Gaedeke name.
At the heart of this success is a leadership team defined by collaboration and curiosity. CEO Sabine Gaedeke Stener and President Craig Settle lead a group of experts whose collective experience spans land management, operations, finance, and geoscience. Alongside Preston Windham, Vice President of Operations, Brenda Loftis, Vice President of Land, and Shari Dempsey, Accounting and Accounts Payable, they’ve built a culture that thrives on innovation and integrity. Together, they embody what it means to think beyond limits.
Gaedeke Energy’s portfolio reflects both tradition and transformation. The company continues to invest in upstream oil and gas, emphasizing low-decline assets and regional growth, while also expanding into forward-looking sectors like rare earth minerals, battery technology, energy storage, alternative fuels, and electrical system optimization. Each investment is thoughtfully structured to balance immediate opportunity with long-term progress.
For Gaedeke Energy, growth isn’t just about numbers; it’s about impact. It’s about creating partnerships, fueling innovation, and investing in a more sustainable world.
Three decades after Gaedeke Group first began redefining what’s possible, the Energy team continues that legacy with the same spark of imagination that started it all.
