As Home Genius Exteriors accelerates its national expansion, the company today announced that Suraj Akotia, General Counsel of National Services Group (NSG), its parent company, has assumed an expanded role as a member of the Home Genius Exteriors (HGE) executive leadership team.

Suraj Akotia, J.D., has been instrumental in Home Genius Exteriors’ growth since its earliest days, helping to architect the legal, compliance, and governance infrastructure that has enabled the company to scale responsibly while maintaining operational discipline. In his official capacity as a member of the executive leadership team, Akotia will continue to advise senior leadership across all facets of the business, ensuring regulatory compliance while proactively managing risk as the company expands across the United States.

“Suraj brings a rare combination of legal expertise, business acumen, and values-driven leadership,” said Jeff Gunhus, CEO of Home Genius Exteriors. “I’ve trusted his judgment for more than 15 years. As we continue to scale, having Suraj more deeply integrated into our executive leadership team strengthens our ability to move fast, make smart decisions, and protect the long-term interests of the business.”

In his role as General Counsel of NSG, Akotia has guided the parent organization and its operating companies through complex regulatory, contractual, and risk environments—providing the foundation required for sustained, long-term growth. Since HGE’s founding, Akotia has been a trusted advisor to senior executives and a champion of the people-first culture they helped build.

Akotia believes high-performing organizations are built on trust, clarity, and shared purpose—and that strong governance is not a constraint on growth, but a catalyst for it. That perspective continues to inform his leadership as Home Genius Exteriors accelerates its growth nationwide.

“As General Counsel of National Services Group, I’ve been proud to support Home Genius Exteriors from the beginning, and I’m honored to take on a more direct leadership role as we continue scaling while staying true to the values that differentiate this company,” Akotia said.
