CHARLOTTE – Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) has a new leader for investor relations, but he is a familiar face within the energy giant.

Jack Sullivan is now vice president of investor relations, having previously served as director of corporate finance and investments and assistant treasurer.

Sullivan replaces Bryan Buckler, who recently left the company for another career opportunity, according to the company.

“Jack will be a strong voice with the investment community as we make progress toward our net-zero carbon by 2050 goal and important social and governance targets,” said Steve Young, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “His extensive knowledge of the company’s strategy and strong track record executing our financial plan position him well to communicate Duke Energy’s low-risk, consistent value proposition that delivers sustainable results for our shareholders.”

Sullivan as assistant treasurer “helped Duke Energy raise over $45 billion, including funds to advance the company’s clean energy strategy,” the company said. He is a former executive at Bank of America.
