Carter Reid, executive vice president, chief of staff and corporate secretary of Dominion Energy, as well as president of Dominion Energy Services, will retire Jan. 1, 2024, the Richmond-based utility announced Monday.

Carlos Brown, Dominion’s senior vice president, chief legal officer and general counsel, will be promoted to president of Dominion Energy Services and Dominion Energy executive vice president, chief legal officer and corporate secretary.

Reid joined Dominion in 1996 as its assistant general counsel and held roles in its law department and at Dominion Energy Services, one of the utility’s subsidiaries.

She’s a graduate of James Madison University and the University of Richmond School of Law, and previously was an associate at McGuireWoods and Hunton & Williams (now Hunton Andrews Kurth).

“Carter Reid has been a key executive and faithful friend for the company as a whole, for her own team at the Services company, and for our board,” Dominion Chair, President and CEO Robert Blue said in a statement. “She helped the company maintain best-in-class governance, relentlessly focused on recruiting and retaining the best talent, and built an unparalleled security and cybersecurity organization, among her many other accomplishments. The company will miss her as she enjoys her retirement years.

“When Carter retires, Carlos Brown will pick up most of her duties. Carlos has a depth and breadth of experience that will serve him well as he leads Dominion Energy’s law, corporate governance, environmental, IT, supply chain, corporate facilities and corporate safety and security teams.”

Brown, who holds two degrees from the University of Virginia, joined Dominion as senior counsel in 2007 and has served as chief compliance officer and general counsel, among other positions.
