Electric utility Duke Energy Corp.'s (DUK) board has elected Lynn Good as its next president and chief executive, succeeding Jim Rogers, who would continue to serve as board chairman until his retirement on December 31, 2013. Also, Lynn Good would serve as a director on the company's board, and she would assume her new role on July 1.
Good has served as Duke Energy's executive vice president and chief financial officer since July 2009. She joined Cinergy, a Duke Energy predecessor company, in 2003 following 20 years working in senior management roles and as a partner for Deloitte & Touche and Arthur Andersen.
The board would also appoint one of its independent directors chair-elect in the coming weeks. This individual would assume responsibilities as board chairman on January 1, 2014, and would assist the new chief executive and the board with a smooth transition in the coming months.
In November 2012, Rogers announced his intention to retire from the company by the end of 2013 after a 25-year career as a CEO in the utility industry. The selection process was led by a nine-member committee of the board's independent directors. The committee and the board were assisted in their search by Russell Reynolds.
