Direct Energy Announces Leadership Changes
Direct Energy announced changes to its leadership structure, "to better position the company for further growth and investment."
Steven Murray has been named Direct Energy's Chief Operating Officer (COO) with responsibility for back office operations, procurement, information technology, and the company's call centers. Murray is charged with achieving industry-leading consolidated operations and IT processes and functions. Previously, Murray served as president of Direct Energy Residential.
Manu Asthana replaces Murray as president of Direct Energy Residential and is overseeing the company's strategic focus on innovation and brand differentiation. Prior to his new role, Asthana held the position of head of upstream and supply and trading.
With the completion of Direct Energy's acquisition of Hess' Energy Marketing business, John Schultz is now president of Direct Energy Business with oversight of Direct Energy's commercial and industrial and supply and trading businesses, as well as the former energy marketing business of Hess. Prior to his new role, Schultz served as head of east region for Direct Energy Business.
