PJM Announces Leadership Changes Ahead of Top Executive Transition
PJM, a key player in the US electricity market, is undergoing significant leadership changes as it prepares for the transition of its top executive position. Effective January 7, 2026, Manu Asthana, who has served as President and CEO since 2020, will be stepping down after six years, prompting a search for his successor. In preparation for this transition, Stu Bresler, Executive Vice President of Market Services and Strategy, will take on the newly created role of Chief Operating Officer, while Aftab Khan will become Chief Strategy Officer, leading organizational transformation efforts. This structural realignment aims to ensure a smooth leadership transition and position PJM for success under its new CEO, who is expected to prioritize external stakeholder engagement and navigate the changing energy environment.
