Diversified Fall Protection names new CEO
Diversified Fall Protection (DFP), the largest turnkey fall protection integrator in the U.S. for regulatory-driven systems and services, has appointed Travis Nelson, PE, CSP, as the company’s new CEO.
Nelson is a distinguished leader and influencer in the fall protection industry and brings over 20 years of industry experience to the position.
“We are truly honored to have someone of Travis’ reputation and expertise at the helm of our company,” said William Huber, chairman of the DFP board and partner with North Branch Capital, which invested in DFP in May of 2019. “His industry knowledge, visionary leadership, and ability to unite teams toward a shared vision are precisely what DFP needs to solidify its position as an industry leader.”
Nelson's journey with DFP began in 2019, initially as vice president of engineering and later as vice president of strategy. His tenure at DFP commenced after the acquisition of PEAK Fall Protection, where Nelson served as managing partner and president for nearly 12 years.

With a team of exceptionally dedicated and talented individuals, possessing the requisite expertise and commitment, we are poised to elevate our service standards and foster innovation.
