Investing.com - Centuri Holdings Inc (NYSE:CTRI) disclosed today that its President and CEO, Bill Fehrman, will be leaving his post to assume the CEO role at American Electric Power (Nasdaq: NASDAQ:AEP), one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S. He will continue to lead Centuri until July 31, 2024.

Mr. Fehrman, Centuri’s outgoing President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “It has been an honor to lead and help refine Centuri’s strategy. I remain confident in the strategy that has been implemented and Centuri’s ability to execute in the future. Centuri is a valued partner to many of the companies meeting North America’s growing energy demands and leading the energy transition, and I believe in the company’s opportunity for continued success as it delivers solutions across customers’ value chains. Paul has been a strong partner in developing Centuri’s strategy. I have greatly benefited from his insights and expertise as an advisor over the past few months, and I know he is the right person to serve as Interim CEO.”

Caudill expressed his pleasure at the appointment, stating, "Centuri's success is driven by its operational excellence and deep customer relationships across the regulated utilities industry. Working alongside the Board and management team, I look forward to building on our track record of long-term growth."

Centuri is currently in the process of identifying a permanent CEO.
