The board of directors of Sempra Energy have announced that CEO Jeffrey Martin has been elected chairman of the company, effective 1 December. Martin will succeed Debra Reed, who is retiring from Sempra Energy.
Martin has served as Sempra Energy's CEO since May.
"Early in his tenure as CEO, Jeff Martin has outlined a new strategy to focus on – and grow – Sempra Energy's North American business," said William Rusnack, lead independent director for Sempra Energy.
