St. Louis-based utility company Ameren Corporation has named Gwen Mizell to the newly created position of Chief Sustainability and Diversity Officer. She previously served as the company’s Chief Sustainability Officer, and her new role will expand her leadership, expertise and guidance over Ameren’s DEI and corporate philanthropy efforts. She will report directly to CEO Marty Lyons.
Mizell’s role as Chief Sustainability and Diversity Officer went into effect on March 1 after the announcement of Sharon Harvey Davis’ retirement on May 1. Davis is Ameren’s VP of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) and Chief Diversity Officer. She worked at the company for 20 years.
In a statement, Mizell said: “It’s an honor to follow in the footsteps of Sharon, a great leader with a longstanding track record of achievement. And I look forward to continuing to sharpen and optimize Ameren’s focus on all facets of sustainability for the benefit of communities in Missouri and Illinois.”
