View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
As the executive vice president and chief financial officer for Duke Energy, I oversee the company’s financial function, including the controller’s office, treasury, tax, risk management and insurance. These duties include accounting, cash management and overseeing risk control policies. I also have the responsibility for corporate development and enterprise strategy, with a focus on transforming the company’s generation and transmission assets to create greater resiliency and reliability for our customers, while also advancing Duke Energy’ net-zero carbon emissions goals. Before assuming the role of CFO in 2022, I served as Duke Energy’s chief strategy and commercial officer, during which I was responsible for enterprise strategy, commercial renewables, the natural gas business unit, business ventures and development and relationship management and sales for large customer accounts. I’ve also held roles as Duke Energy’s chief transformation and administrative officer, and chief accounting officer and controller. I joined Duke Energy in 2001 as a manager in Duke Energy’s energy trading unit, Duke Energy North America, during which I was named director of trading and risk services and was responsible for the successful wind-down and disposition of Duke Energy North America in 2005. Following Duke Energy’s merger with Cinergy in 2006, I was appointed vice president and controller of the commercial power segments, and in 2009, I was named director of forecasting and analysis where I lead the financial due diligence of the Duke Energy/Progress Energy merger in 2012. I currently serve on the board of trustees for the Duke Energy Foundation, Queens University of Charlotte and am a board member of the Electric Power Research Institute.
