ALLIANT ENERGY NAMES NEW EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Alliant Energy has named two new executive officers to elevate customer experiences and advance the company’s clean energy transition. Barbara Tormaschy has been promoted to Senior Vice President and will oversee sustainability and regulatory strategy. Michael Luhrs will join the company as the Senior Vice President of Customer Experience and Strategy.
