Scott Michael Kleeb (born August 23, 1975) is an American energy businessman. He is the former CEO and President of Energy Pioneer Solutions, a company that created and then sold a new data-driven model for energy efficiency issues that focused on utilities and homeowners.
In 2006, he was defeated in a close race to represent Nebraska's 3rd congressional district. In 2008, he was the Democratic nominee in an unsuccessful bid for U.S. Senate seat in Nebraska. His wife, Jane Fleming Kleeb, is the founder of Bold Nebraska.
Kleeb was born in Turkey at a military hospital to parents who taught in military schools abroad. He was raised in Italy and speaks Italian fluently. He attended college at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he graduated summa cum laude; he then earned a Master's degree in international relations and a Ph.D in history from Yale University. He was also a Yale World Fellow.
Kleeb has been an adjunct professor of history at Hastings College in Hastings, Nebraska. He is now the Chief Executive Officer of Energy Pioneer Solutions, a residential energy efficiency business located in Hastings.
In 2006, Kleeb, then a ranch-hand at the McGinn Ranch in Custer County, was the Democratic candidate for Nebraska's 3rd Congressional District seat. The 3rd is extremely difficult to campaign in and has few unifying influences. It covers nearly 65,000 square miles (170,000 km2), two time zones, and 68.5 of Nebraska’s 93 counties (one of which, Cherry County, is larger than the entire state of Connecticut). However, Kleeb raised more money than any other Democrat had raised in the district in decades. Overall, the race was the most expensive in the district since it assumed its current configuration in 1963.
