EEI recently 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.

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.

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.

“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.”
