EEI Announces Expanded Roles for Key Staff Focused on Issues Critical to America’s Electric Companies and Their Customers

EEI Announces Expanded Roles for Key Staff Focused on Issues Critical to America’s Electric Companies and Their Customers

AMELIA ISLAND, FLA. (January 10, 2024) — The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) today announced that two employees will move into expanded roles in recognition of their leadership and contributions to EEI member companies across the clean energy, environmental, human resources, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) fronts.

Announced during the Institute’s winter Board of Directors and CEO meeting in Amelia Island, these changes are effective immediately:

  • Courtney Peterson is now Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer, and Chief Diversity Officer. Peterson joined EEI in 2021 as Chief Human Resources Officer and most recently served as Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer, and Chief Diversity Officer. She provides executive leadership to EEI’s industry-wide DEI strategy and practice area, also overseeing EEI’s 40-year-old Business Diversity Program. She closely collaborates with EEI’s member company chief human resources officers. Peterson will continue to lead EEI’s internal human resources, DEI strategy and operations, and internal facility operations, as well as provide executive oversight of the Employment Testing consortium. Peterson will continue to serve as Chief Administrative Officer for the Center for Energy Workforce Development.

    Prior to joining EEI, Peterson served as Chief People and Culture Officer at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., and she held various human resources leadership roles for the Fannie Mae Foundation and the American Diabetes Association. She is on the faculty at Georgetown University in the School of Continuing Studies, teaching in the master's degree program in Human Resources Management. Peterson also is on the board of directors of the SHRM Foundation and is on the Advisory Council for the National Utilities Diversity Council. She received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh and a master’s degree from Robert Morris University. She holds an executive certificate in leadership coaching from Georgetown University. Peterson will report to EEI President and CEO Dan Brouillette.
  • Alex Bond is now Executive Director, Clean Energy and Environment. Bond joined EEI in 2017 and most recently served as Deputy General Counsel, Climate & Clean Energy. In that role, he led the EEI team focused on ensuring that federal climate and environmental policies and regulations support member companies’ ongoing clean energy transitions. Bond will continue to help coordinate strategic clean energy engagement across the federal government and with key stakeholders. EEI’s Environment Department will report to him.

    Before joining EEI, Bond worked in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of General Counsel in the Air & Radiation Law Office. Prior to that, he worked on air and climate issues at both the Edison Electric Institute and the National Mining Association. Bond began his career working on stationary source issues for the Ozone Transport Commission, which represents the Northeastern states. He received a B.A. in political science from Swarthmore College and a J.D. from the University of Maryland School of Law. He will continue to report to Emily Fisher, Executive Vice President, Clean Energy, and General Counsel.

“I am pleased to announce that Courtney and Alex will take on these well-deserved expanded roles,” said EEI President and CEO Dan Brouillette. “Both will continue to drive strategic engagement with key stakeholders to ensure that EEI and our member companies have the supportive regulations and the highly skilled and diverse workforce needed to deliver America’s resilient clean energy future.”
