Vecchione also announced the formation of a new Executive Leadership Team (ELT), which will be responsible for making key policy decisions and guiding the strategic direction of the company.
In addition to Vecchione, the seven-member ELT will consist of Bruckner, Curley, Theisen, Nachlas and Gibbons, as well as Chief Operating Officer Timothy Boothe and Chief Human Resources Officer Barbara Kennedy. Jarvi will replace Theisen on the ELT when she steps into the role of CLO in the first quarter of 2023.

"I am more confident than ever that our seasoned and diverse executive team will continue to deliver best in class service to our customers, and industry leading financial results for our shareholders, while also serving the needs of our employees and the communities in which we do business."
