Lynn Good is chairman, president and chief executive officer of Duke Energy, one of America’s largest electric power companies.

Before becoming CEO in 2013, she served as Duke Energy’s chief financial officer, and earlier led the company’s commercial energy businesses during its initial development of renewable energy projects. She began her utility career in 2003 with Cincinnati-based Cinergy, which merged with Duke Energy three years later. Prior to 2003, she was a partner at two international accounting firms, including a long career with Arthur Andersen. Fortune magazine lists Good as 11th among the “Most Powerful Women in Business” and Forbes magazine calls her one of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women.” In 2016, she became the first regulated utility CEO designated as a LinkedIn Influencer – an online thought-leadership program. Under Good’s leadership, Duke Energy is embracing new technologies and forward-thinking strategies that strengthen the company’s environmental stewardship. In addition to developing industry-leading solutions for managing coal ash, Duke Energy has increased its investment in solar and wind facilities to $4 billion, and the company has become a top-10 U.S. wind power producer. In 2015, more than 40 percent of the company’s delivered energy was produced from carbon-free sources. Duke Energy was named as one of the “Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations” by Corporate Knights, while Newsweek listed it as one of “America’s Greenest Companies.” Duke Energy has paid a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock for 90 consecutive years.
