01/11/2019

Entergy Arkansas President and CEO Laura Landreaux added two new members to her lead team. Michael Considine has been selected to serve as vice president of customer service for Entergy Arkansas. William Cunningham has been named director of finance.

"Meeting and even exceeding our customers' expectations has always been a part of who we are," said Landreaux. "We have a great team in place, and I'm fortunate to be able to add Michael and William to those I count on to help lead the effort to impress our customers in the days ahead."

Considine will oversee all customer service representatives throughout the state, as well as the customer service support department. To sharpen Entergy's focus on creating value for customers, the company created the new organization Considine will lead to focus exclusively on customer service.
