In his new role, McCulloch will oversee how PG&E
communicates with the 16 million people it serves in Northern and
Central California. This includes keeping customers and others
informed about PG&E’s progress in delivering safe, reliable
energy; ways the company is helping customers save money on their
bills; and how PG&E is harnessing innovation to achieve its
bold climate goals. He also will oversee PG&E’s marketing
efforts to encourage customer participation in programs that
promote energy efficiency, provide income-qualified bill discounts,
and support electric vehicle owners, among others.
“We are excited to bring David aboard as we work to build trust
with our customers and hometowns by shining a light on all of the
ways we support them—whether it’s through investing in our energy
systems or providing programs that help them take control of their
energy use and costs,” said PG&E’s Executive Vice President and
Chief Customer Officer Marlene Santos.
“PG&E has an essential role to play in California, and
globally, as a convener of ideas and as a catalyst for energy
innovation that better serves our customers and our planet. I’m
excited to help bring that same spirit of innovation to how we
communicate and engage with our customers and everyone we’re
partnering with in building the future of energy,” McCulloch
said.
