OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has appointed David McCulloch as its new Vice President and Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, effective today.

McCulloch is a 20-year Bay Area resident who comes to PG&E with deep experience in corporate communications and marketing at a range of companies in the energy and technology sectors. Most recently, he led communications for X’s moonshot to decarbonize the electric grid through advanced simulation and modeling technologies. X is a subsidiary of Alphabet.

In his new role, McCulloch will oversee how PG&E communicates with the 16 million people it serves in Northern and Central California.

“We are excited to bring David aboard as we work to build trust with our customers and hometowns by shining a light on all of the ways we support them—whether it’s through investing in our energy systems or providing programs that help them take control of their energy use and costs,” said PG&E’s Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer Marlene Santos.

“PG&E has an essential role to play in California, and globally, as a convener of ideas and as a catalyst for energy innovation that better serves our customers and our planet. I’m excited to help bring that same spirit of innovation to how we communicate and engage with our customers and everyone we’re partnering with in building the future of energy,” McCulloch said.
