UPDATE: The location for this event has changed, and registration has been reopened to accommodate more attendees.
PNC Bank and ChamberRVA are pleased to support C-Suite Conversations, a speaker series presented by the University of Richmond Robins School of Business. Listen as Associate Professor Dr. Richard Coughlan talks with Tom Farrell, chair, president and CEO of Dominion Energy, in an unscripted, one-on-one interview about his trailblazing leadership experience.
As chair, president and CEO of Dominion Energy, Farrell has emerged as a leading expert on national energy issues and as an advocate of a cohesive national energy policy. Headquartered in Richmond, Dominion is one of America’s largest energy companies, with a market capitalization of about $50 billion and operations in 19 states. In 2015, Dominion was rated the most admired electric and gas utility by Fortune, and 37th on Forbes magazine’s “America’s Best Employers” list. In 2014, Dominion was named utility of the year by Electric Light & Power magazine. In addition, during Farrell’s tenure Dominion has been awarded both the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, the highest recognition given to employers for their support of employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve, and United Way’s national Summit Awards for exceptional volunteerism and community impact. Under Farrell’s leadership, Dominion Energy Virginia & North Carolina, the company’s electric utility serving about 2.6 million customer accounts, has invested more than $2 billion in environmental upgrades and safeguards to its operating facilities. Investments at its Gas Infrastructure Group have more than doubled the size of the company’s natural gas infrastructure assets – including in the western Rockies, where the former Questar Corporation is based. During that time Dominion has achieved double-digit growth in operating earnings per share and in the company’s dividend rate. Dominion has also tripled its philanthropic giving since Farrell became CEO.

- Courtney Paulk of Hirschler, February 12
