NiSource Announces Leadership Changes in Legal
and Federal Government Affairs
MERRILLVILLE, Ind. – NiSource (NYSE: NI) announced today that following the closing of the sale of Columbia Gas of Massachusetts (CMA) to Eversource, Carrie Hightman, executive vice president, chief legal officer, NiSource and CEO and president of CMA, stepped down from her CMA roles. In addition, Hightman will be leaving NiSource in January 2021, and her position overseeing Legal and Federal Government Affairs will be eliminated.
“The Board of Directors and I are deeply grateful for Carrie’s leadership and exceptional legal counsel throughout her 13 years at NiSource. Carrie’s impact has been immeasurable, most recently having successfully led the transition of CMA to Eversource, and also through her elevation of the Legal and Federal Government Affairs functions. All of us at NiSource and our operating companies wish her well in retirement,” said Joe Hamrock, president and CEO of NiSource.
Anne-Marie D’Angelo, who joined the company in September, 2019 and who is serving as senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary, will become an executive vice president and a member of the company’s executive leadership team, effective January 30, 2021 and will lead NiSource’s legal function, reporting to Joe Hamrock. Responsibility for Federal Government Affairs, which currently reports to Hightman, will transition to the Utilities organization upon Hightman’s departure.
“Anne-Marie has demonstrated the highest levels of integrity, judgment and leadership since she joined NiSource, and she is well positioned to lead our team of talented and well respected attorneys and contribute substantially as a member of NiSource’s executive leadership team,” Hamrock concluded.
