Entergy board of directors appoints new chief operating and chief nuclear officers

On March 27, 2025, in New Orleans, Entergy's board of directors announced the retirement of Chief Operating Officer Pete Norgeot, the succession of Kimberly Cook-Nelson to the role, and the naming of John Dinelli as chief nuclear officer, all effective May 1.
Pete Norgeot, who is 60 years old, is retiring after a nearly four-decade career where he led company operations, power generation, commercial management, and large-scale development teams in highly regulated industries, joining Entergy in 2014.
Kimberly Cook-Nelson, 53, the current executive vice president and chief nuclear officer, will succeed Norgeot, bringing strong communications, engineering, and project management skills, a laser focus on continuous improvement, and a deep understanding of Entergy's business and industry to the COO position.
Entergy Chair and CEO Drew Marsh stated that Pete's contributions over the last four decades have powered the business, communities, careers and lives of those who worked alongside him, and that Kimberly has proven to be a great leader in both nuclear and non-nuclear roles.
These organizational changes will impact Entergy, a Fortune 500 company headquartered in New Orleans that produces, transmits, and distributes electricity to 3 million customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, operating four nuclear power plants with five reactors located in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and delivering over $100 million in annual economic benefits to the communities it serves.
