USA, North Carolina: Effective April 1, Lynn Good will retire as CEO and chair of the board of Duke Energy Corp., with 29-year company veteran Harry Sideris set to take over. Good has led the Charlotte-based company since July 2013 and been its board chair since the beginning of 2016. When she took over, the company’s electric utilities served 7.2 million customers, today they serve 8.4 million in six states. Before being named CEO, she was Duke’s CFO for four years.
Sideris will assume the CEO position a year after he was named president and given responsibility for the operations and customer service of Duke’s electric and gas utilities. Since starting his career at Progress Energy (bought by Duke in 2012), he has held a variety of customer, operations, and regulatory roles. Before being named president, he was executive VP of customer experience.
“In an era of growth and rapidly evolving customer demands, Harry’s experience in operations, customer service, strategy, and stakeholder and regulatory engagement makes him the ideal choice for CEO,” said Ted Craver, Duke’s lead independent director. Craver will take over the board chair role from Good on April 1.
