NEW
ORLEANS, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Entergy
today named Liz Hunter as vice
president of investor relations, effective Oct. 1. Hunter will lead Entergy's interactions
with the investment community and communicate the company's
strategy and progress towards creating long-term sustainable value
for its stakeholders. She will report to Kimberly Fontan, executive vice president and
chief financial officer.
"Liz has consistently delivered results through a variety of
senior roles on our treasury team," said Fontan. "Along with
outstanding leadership skills, her experience managing investment
portfolios, engaging credit ratings agencies and supporting
fixed-income investors give Liz the necessary tools to successfully
lead investor relations and meet the high expectations of our
owners."
Hunter will lead the company's investor relations team and
interactions with the analyst and investor community. She will also
provide counsel to executive management and the board of directors
on Wall Street's perspectives on the company. Hunter succeeds
Bill Abler, who will lead the
company's system planning organization.
With a deep background in corporate finance, Hunter has more
than 20 years in analyzing financial and market trends to make
strategic investment decisions. She currently serves as director of
investments and cash management and has served as assistant
treasurer for Entergy since 2021. In this role, she leads a team
responsible for corporate treasury functions including managing
pension, savings plan and nuclear decommissioning trust investments
totaling $14 billion, overseeing the
company's cash management and working directly with credit rating
agencies. Since joining Entergy in 2003, Hunter has built strong
relationships across the business and has served in successive
leadership positions within the finance organization. She earned a
Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics from Millsaps College and a Master of Business
Administration from Loyola University New
Orleans.
In his new role, Bill Abler will
lead Entergy's system planning and operations organization, which
supports the company's long-term strategic planning and commercial,
fuel supply and market operations. He will report to Pete Norgeot, executive vice president and chief
operating officer.
"With tremendous growth, increasing customer demands for clean,
reliable and resilient power, and evolving market and regulatory
dynamics, the needs of system planning and operations are growing,"
said Norgeot. "Bill has a deep commercial and financial background
that will help us advance our customer-focused business strategy
while delivering safe, reliable and affordable energy today and for
future generations."
Abler joined Entergy in 2003 and has held successive leadership
positions in commercial development and innovation, commercial
operations and the company's wholesale commodities business. Prior
to joining Entergy, he held leadership roles with Exxon, UBS
Warburg and Apache Corporation. Abler earned a bachelor's degree in
mechanical engineering from the University of
Minnesota-Twin Cities and a Master of Business
Administration from the University of
Chicago.
While the changes become effective Oct.
1, to provide for transition, Bill will continue serving as
lead for investor relations through mid-November when Liz will
fully assume her leadership role.
